{"value"=>"<p>Delza wrote poems of varied types throughout her life, including limericks, jingles, light verse, and what she probably considered more serious work. Many of her later poems on tai chi were published in periodicals and in her book, The <span class=\"title\">T‘ai-Chi Ch‘uan Experience</span> (1996). Delza had aspirations to publish separate volumes of her light verse and tai chi poems, but apparently never found a publisher for either of these projects. As with most of Delza's writings, much of the material went through numerous revisions and title changes. The poetry sub-series is arranged by folders filed by title of individual works. These folders generally contain manuscript drafts and photocopies of printed versions (often with some kind of additional annotations). The individual works are followed by several folders that contained groupings of material, which are organized alphabetically using the title found on the container or a supplied title.</p>"}
