My grandmother always had them on her coffee table--they came from her French-Canadian nun relatives (she and my mom used to say that nuns "love" Ideals! hehe). I inherited one from the collection; it's from the mid-1950s.<br /><br />I suspect that our mystery poet was no one "famous". I can't put my hands on my Ideals copy, but I seem to recall seeing poems written by others who were unknown to me and whose works were not credited. Perhaps they were reader submissions--or were written by in-house staff. I'm going to pretend that Deborah Bennett wrote dozens of poems that she was too shy too publish, except for the occasional one in a magazine, and that somebody will find the manuscripts hidden under in an attic, and sell them to a publisher who will finally make her as "famous" as she deserves to be!)<br /><br />I'll keep snooping around and let you know if I find out anything about her, too.: ) xoxoPat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16845352436891636391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3653873317577758096.post-60704637172826303642013-09-23T13:48:13.897+01:002013-09-23T13:48:13.897+01:00Muy bello!!!!!

It is SUCH a beautifully written poem :) Actually, I happened upon a nice, big stack of "Ideals" magazines at my favorite local thrift store for $1 per magazine. I only bought a few, then after discovering how wonderful the magazine was, I went back and (thankfully) bought all the rest! I found this poem in Vol. 57, No. 4 of "Friendship Ideals." I'm still unsure as to where they found her poem, as it appears they didn't cite their source. I'll let you know if I find out anything on her :)Lilac & Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310795393642483522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3653873317577758096.post-37322204466055127722013-09-22T07:49:16.627+01:002013-09-22T07:49:16.627+01:00Beautiful items!
