The news is out on both sides of the pond. The Times Literary Supplement and NPR report that two poems Virginia Woolf wrote for her niece and nephew were discovered in a folder at a university library in Texas.

Sophia Oliver, a lecturer of modernism at the University of Liverpool, found the poems at the Harry Ransom Center, an archive library at the University of Texas at Austin, while doing research on Gertrude Stein. Oliver went on to poke about in the Woolf files and spotted the poems at the back of a folder of letters to her niece, Angelica Bell.

The poem for Bell is titled “Angelica” and the piece for her nephew, Quentin Bell, is titled “Hiccoughs.” Oliver estimates that both were written after 1927.
