By the American poet notable for having composed most of her poetry as a child, between the ages of four and ten years old. Most of Hilda's poetry is concerned with nature. Other common themes are love for her mother, stories and daydreams, and pictures or books that pleased her.

Surprisingly beautiful. While the child is quite clearly seen, the poems having in the main to do with childish concerns and and pastimes, Conklin's Intuit understanding of metaphor is breathtaking.
