Vera Newsom (1912 - ) Vera Newsom emigrated from England to New Zealand at the age of seven, then moved to Australia in her adolescence. She was raised in a family that was fiercely supportive of the women's suffrage movement, and she was encouraged by her father to pursue academic goals. As a young woman, Newsom began a career as a teacher, eventually working for over 40 years in state and private schools. She was retrenched from the state system in 1934 when she married. After retiring, Newsom began to pay serious attention to her writing. She had suspended her interest in poetry writing for approximately 40 years while she focused on family responsibilities. In the late 1970's she co-founded the Round Table Poets and her first published selection, Midnight Snow appeared in 1988. Newsom has undertaken fellowships at the Hawthornden International Writers' Retreat Centre Scotland, and at the Varuna Writers' Centre, Katoomba. She has twice received 2-year fellowships from the Australia Council to foster her writing. The Young Street Poets held a special even to celebrate Newsom's 90th birthday in 2002. On this occasion Judith Beveridge delivered an address in which she described Newsom's poetry as being characterized by a meticulous attention to craft, clarity directness, rhythm, and a sparse lyrical elegance, and by a deft tonal and formal control.    Photo of Vera Newsom by photographer unknown, year unknown. Vera Newsom's publications include: Poetry: A psalm of rejoicing and other poems, (Picaro Press, 2005), High Tide, (Five Islands Press, 2000), Emily Bronte recollects and other poems, (Angus & Robertson, 1995), The apple and the serpent, (Hale & Iremonger, 1992), Midnight Snow, (Hale & Iremonger, 1988).
