During the 1930s she was well known in literary London, and wrote a great deal of poetry (much of which was later lost in war damage) and much of which remained unpublished. She did find support from the somewhat "louche" John Gawsworth, who in 1936 put out a Richards Press collection of her work. An extended autobiographical essay "Prelude to a Spring Clean" dates from 1935. That was the year in which she supported the just-married Dylan Thomas and Caitlin, and then quarrelled with them.
