| Abstract: | Aaron Attard-Hili commemorates the 50th anniversary of the death of Mary Mejlak, recognized as Malta's first female poet. The article explores her life in Victoria, Gozo, her career as a dedicated teacher, and her extensive literary output which remained rooted in her local surroundings rather than continental influences. It highlights her preference for simple language and themes of imagination, noting that many of her manuscripts still await future publication. |
