Zora Cross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zora Bernice May Cross (1890-1964) was an Australian poet. She was born in Brisbane. She was known not only for her poems, including sonnet sequences, but for a private life scandalous by the standards of her time. She wrote about sex, childbirth and war, in terms also considered too explicit by contemporaries.
