Austin made her reputation as a novelist, but she was a pretty good poet, too. Sadly, all I've seen of her published poetry have been the 8 poems I've blogged. (She published one more in September, but I haven't found a copy yet.) There's a website devoted to her, https://janegaustin.com/ -- but it doesn't even mention her poetry that I can see. I'm glad to see she's picked up some 21st- century fans, and I hope there will be more to come.
