SOMEONE I DEARLY WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE MET

Vera Brittain.   Working on a poem re Vera Brittain for the centenary of WWI.   Spent two weeks reading her diary at Buxton library and it was quite a strange sensation reading her entries for January 1914 in January 2014.  Such intelligence and drive just burns through her writing.   A truly remarkable woman I would have loved to have met and talked at length with.
