Vibrant with Words cover

Ursula Bethell was a modernist poet who helped shape New Zealand's literary scene between the two world wars. This collection of letters tells the story of her early life of travel and social work in Europe and opens a window on her subsequent writerly life as she describes the origins of many of her poems.

New Zealand wasn't truly discovered until Ursula Bethell, 'very earnestly digging,' raised her head to look at the mountains." — D'Arcy Cresswell, author, The Poet's Progress
