Description:In her autobiography To the Is-land, Janet Frame wrote of Shirley Grave: Her name was Shirley Grave, and I first became aware of her through the teachers' complaints about her lack of order, her absentmindedness, which were apparently balanced by her imagination. 'Shirley has imagination. She writes poetry.' 'What a dreamer you are, Shirley! Always lost in your poetic world of imagination!' I looked with interest and envy at the girl who had the poetic attributes I longed for. I wanted to be a poet, and I knew that poets must be imaginative or poetic, dream great dreams.Waiting For The Sugar-water is Shirley Grave's major work of imagination... an autobiography set in New Zealand's South Island that recalls a childhood as one of the "bovine herd" in Primer One, to the evening of her life watching the tuis and the bellbirds waiting for their sugar-water.Shirley Grave was born in Oamaru in 1924, the daughter of well-known explorer and solicitor W.G. Grave. Educated at Waitaki Girls' High School and Timaru Girls' High School, she has written poetry since childhood. Waiting For The Sugar-water is her first book.
