She authored several books of poetry, and her work appeared approximately a dozen times in Poetry between 1918 and 1935. Mastin’s timing was lucky and unlucky.

Description:
Los Angeles: Benton Publishing Co., 1927. First edition, Narrow octavo. 20 pp. with with color illustrations on nearly every page. Publisher's pictorial wrappers with a color image of a tour bus on the cover. In the original envelope which has "A Bit of California Color" printed on it. An excellent copy. No copies located by OCLC.The subtitle on the front cover is "See California First.' At first glance one would think this a pamphlet for the Golden State Royal Blue Line of buses, a relatively new phenomenon. But as one reads further it is obvious that this is a piece of boosterism for the State in general as it covers nearly everything (and in printed in exceedingly small type using blue ink). I think the real reason for it's publication, unknown to the internet or to OCLC, is to be found on the inner rear page. There we see a colorful cluster of purple grapes and the following ad; "The World's Only Deluxe All-Color Book in Multi-process Art Engravings: "California, the Wonderland and Garden of…
