3 year old poetry genius!!!! (apparently)

It says in the info box that she was born on 1917, yet her writing period began in 1917. That can't be right. Are you sure she started writing poems at 3 years old? It doesn't seem to make sense, but I guess it could happen.99.54.173.160 (talk) 04:38, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

references

This reads like an essay (and quite a good one, actually). But it needs references. Is it mostly derived from a single source, or WP:OR, or compiled from WP:RS but the refs not added? DavidOaks (talk) 19:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
