In 1944, Ursula Bethell began preparations for a final volume of poetry. Although she had initially planned only to reprint Time and Place (1936) and Day and Night (1939), Bethell was persuaded by Allen Curnow to undertake an edition of collected poems, a work Curnow wrote of as ‘so obvious & necessary that I am almost ashamed it hasn’t been thought of before’. This project was pursued with a sense of urgency on Bethell’s part, for she had been diagnosed with inoperable cancer in May of 1944. Those who collaborated with Bethell were similarly mindful of the need for promptness to ensure the project’s timely completion.
