Anita Buswell

Anita Buswell was a woman with a great sense of humour and sharp wit. Wife, mother, gardener, carpenter, jack of all trades, hand that rocked the cradle, hand that cradled the rock. A farmer's wife who turned her mind successfully to things as diverse as the Stock Market, poetry, magnetism and electricity and theology for the earth. Anita published the family memoir Salmons of Ashmont in 1996 and held a memorable book launch at the time. Her book of poetry Me in the Middle appeared in 2018, and Anita wrote many short stories, plays, poems and letters to the Editor during her lifetime. Together with Grace Pierson, Anita wrote Ripples, a history of the Country Women's Association in New South Wales (1982). When asked to describe herself for the back cover of Me in the Middle, she replied: "I love horses, poetry, my late cat and my family, not necessarily in that order. I am inspired by the mystery and connectedness of life." Anita Buswell lived all her life in the Riverina, New South Wales (1922-2018).
