Salverson with kind regards Ethelwyn Wetherald". Laura Goodman Salverson was a somewhat important Icelandic-Canadian author (born in Winnipeg) who twice won a Governor-General's Award. Ethelwyn Wetherald was a major minor Canadian poet. I noticed one of her poems being used recently as part of the ongoing series of Canadian poetry on the Toronto subways. Uncommon collection of poetry, her last in her lifetime, with a good Canadian literary association. Inscribed by Author.
