Biography
Dorothy Murray had been a writer all of her life. In her youth she wrote some twenty novels which she destroyed before she married as she considered them to be immature. In later years she consorted with poets, especially through Robb and his "Abbey Dawn Poet's Festivals" which attracted the likes of Sir Charles G.D. Roberts, Wilson MacDonald, Charles Andrew Tupper and Nathaniel Benson. Sliter brought her own poetry to these gatherings but she was far too nervous to read it herself so her husband Ernie did her readings for her.
Over the years Dorothy Sliter published a number of books of poetry including, "Meadow Long Day" (1939); "High Wind" (1944); "Father Lucas and Other Poems" (1971). As well as poetry she published " The Friendly Village" (1967), an anecdotal history of Verona and her "Memoirs" (1980).
