Letter to Gilbert dated March 18, 1989 also laid in, along with three typed poems (Christmas Eve, Art Snow Christmas Eve, and Christmas 1988), two with small drawings by her sister in the margins. In the letter, she thanks Gilbert for his letter and his interest in her poems. Shes given up submitting poems, she notes, due to changes in taste and mastheads, and has begun to "let them pile up in my drawer and send copies to the few friends I still have living." She goes on to say that shes "been a recluse" since her sisters death in 1986, "living in the past and writing a novel about it." The Mirrored Walls was the last collection Mullins published, and by the time of Gilberts letter, almost two decades had passed. Two additional typescript poems (Poem to TS Eliot and Cooperation with the Weather) signed to Gilbert with appreciation. Separate, unmarked typescript of a poem called Joe Kling, after the famous New York bohemian and author of Eighth Street. Two small reviews of The Mirrored Walls laid in, as well. Mullins found some regard for her poems in the 20s and 30s, publishing them regularly in magazines and newspapers. Her work appeared in the poet and critic Louis Untermeyers anthology Modern American Poetry: A Critical Anthology. Mullins was struck by a car in 1935, was in a coma for a time and took a number of years to recover. Her career never regained momentum in later years, and by the time of the correspondence included with this book, shed given up on re-establishing herself in the literary world. Size: Octavo.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj) "Jacks" (illustrator). Later Printing (I-D). (price-clipped) [book itself is virtually as new, with no discernible wear; jacket similarly nice, with just a couple of tiny closed tears at top edge (one at top of front panel, the other at top rear flap-fold), and an unobtrusive surface-scrape near the bottom of the front panel]. "In this book the convent is stripped of the mystery that has so long made it seem an unapproachable and slightly fabulous institution. The author writes from a personal angle, giving the record of a normal little girl's dismay at the strangeness and discipline, of the effect of all the dogma and training on her imagination, of the undercurrent of fear and emotion flowing through the convent life." The author, who (surprise!) spent part of her own girlhood in a convent school, was a Greenwich Village poet who hit it temporarily big in 1929, when Harper & Brothers, to whom she was introduced by none other than Thornton Wilder, published both this, her only novel, and "Earthbound," her first book of poetry; another book of poetry, "Balm of Gilead," appeared the next year. (That was it, though, until she next made the news when she was run down by a car when she was jaywalking in NYC; she survived (just barely), continued to write poetry, and lived to the age of 92. Although well-received by secular critics, who were particularly impressed by its clear-eyed rendering of a child's point of view, "Convent Girl" was attacked by the Catholic press, with one influential critic denouncing it as a thinly-veiled hatchet job on the church: "No guns were used, no daggers, no yelling, no blood, no strangulations, nothing like that. They were all smothered to death with a powder puff. A woman's job and a good one.".
