It's neither here nor there, but I believe that she and Roethke were an item at one time, before Roethke got famous, and she was at the time more impressed with the man than the man's poetry, though later it was the other way around.
PS-- I've Googled a bit and found this is a rather familiar piece of information, apparently formative to Roethke's career as Bogan was a prominent critic when they were introduced by Rolf Humphries at Roethke's request.
