Sammy Jay, senior literature specialist at Peter Harrington, said: “Gladys Calthrop made her name as a longtime stage and costume designer of Noël Coward, who was a close friend and to whom she gave this book. “It was previously owned by Coward’s housekeeper, Maggie Moore. We acquired it from a lady who knew Noël Coward’s housekeeper. “The volume offers a unique and intimate window into one of the lesser-known celebrity affairs of someone who earned the nickname ‘the greatest starfucker ever’, and is all the more valuable for being a new discovery. “Acosta is an impressive figure as a poet, as a Cubana, as an out lesbian, and more generally as a woman boldly making her way in the world, and I can see the book appealing to buyers coming at it from many angles. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it were quickly snapped up by some institutional library for all the above reasons.” In the poems, de Acosta writes to Calthrop, who died in 1980 aged 85: “You are a throb of a wound in beauty’s side – like a dark hyacinth, wet with the passion of a troubled tide.” Jay says that the “dramatic, despairing and explicitly erotic” poems seem to have been written after their affair, and the

Her notoriety gave her material for her writing but didn’t help her career prospects. Jay says: “She is largely remembered for her romantic liaisons and never achieved artistic distinction, likely because she refused to compromise herself or her work to fit standards of acceptability.” Her friend Ram Gopal, a dancer, remarked that “when she met men who ran the theatres, they did not want to work with a strong woman who loved women. Men found her too overpowering.” In 1927, the New York state legislature passed a bill banning performances with subjects of “sex degeneracy or sex perversion”, but de Acosta persisted in writing and attempting to stage plays with themes of incest
