Tim, Alex has told us at the beginning of the thread that Maz passed away several weeks ago.

Maz is my favorite of all the poets. Each of her pieces could only have been come from her.
It has been a delight for me to have known her on the boards, and I grieve her absence.

Sad news. But take a look at this thread, huh! She's made her mark and will be missed and remembered.

It would be good to know if there is someone close to her who would appreciate
knowing about this thread, about how many people felt so strongly about her
and her writing.

I am sorry to say that Margaret died alone.
Her body was found at her home on 12 August, and the funeral took place on 4 September attended only by a few neighbours and the solicitors.
The solicitors are anxious to trace any relatives, however distant. They may be contacted via Paul Tapper of Tapper Funeral Services on 01202 993085.

We must let the people of Poole in Dorset know that a significant poet lived quietly in their midst. We should also write to significant UK universities and newspapers.

I'll miss her, and her words, the way they skipped and danced across and down the page.
for Maz
Her touch, so light,
the pixie
skimming dandelions.
O.P.W.

Very sad news. Janet is right and people beyond the world of poetry websites should be informed about this fine poet. One could make a start, as Janet suggests, by informing the people of Poole. Perhaps someone here who knows her work well could contact the Bournemouth Daily Echo, which would have been her local newspaper, and propose an obituary. That might lead to other contacts.

That's an excellent idea, Gregory. But do we have enough information for an obituary? I suppose yes if it's mostly about her work. Who will write it?
