A Reply to Intercepted Mail, with a cover design by her husband, was published by Peterloo in its Peterloo Poets series. This took the form of a verse-letter to WH Auden composed after her discovery that they had both used the same teachers' recruitment agency (immortalised by Auden as "Rabbitarse and String"). It was typical of Anna Adams that her first long poem should take the form of a conversation, an art form in which she excelled.Peterloo remained the main publishing house for her poems, many of which she wrote at the cottage in Horton-in-Ribblesdale which she and her husband used for 35 years as a rural retreat from Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and London.
