Monro marries Alida Klemantaski
Poet involved
What happened
On 27 March 1920, Easter Saturday, Monro married Alida Klemantaski at Holborn register office in London, with strangers as witnesses and no festive congregation. He failed to provide a ring and did not treat the day as a conventional wedding. The couple remained literary partners more than a settled cohabiting household, often still addressing one another as Friend.
Literary impact
The second marriage bound the Bookshop's two intelligences into a legal partnership and gave Alida standing to guard his work after his death. The awkwardness of the ceremony also shadows later poems about companionship that is chosen, feared, and never quite domesticated.
