Anna Wickham was the pseudonym of Edith Alice Mary Harper (1884–1947), a British poet with strong Australian connections. She is remembered as a modernist figure and feminist writer, though one not able to command sustained critical attention in her lifetime. Many treated her as an eccentric, on the basis of a disorganised lifestyle in later years, while she had a number of very good and notable literary friends.

“It is well within the order of things
That man should listen when his mate sings;

Who liked to listen when his mate talked.”
