One New Zealand literary connection made extant in the Shibli Bagarag pages is a frequently noted network of support engendered from Lawlor to Miss Iris Wilkinson, that is, Robin Hyde - as well as many other journalists, editors, poets and writers.

This is one obvious type of relationship that my research might shift some more light on, by touching on the binary nature of their Jack-of-all-trade journalism and shared friendships, and by pointing out that Hyde's appearances in Aussie had more layers and dimensions than the appearance of her poetry, already indexed by Michelle Legott of Auckland University.
