Beatha

Rugadh Rosemary Dobson in Sydney mar an dara hiníon de A.A.G. (Arthur) Dobson, a rugadh i Sasana, agus Marjorie (née Caldwell). Ar thaobh a hathar ba é a seanathair Henry Austin Dobson, file agus aistí. D’fhreastail sí ar Frensham School, agus d’fhan sí ann mar phrintíseach múinteora ealaíne agus stair ealaíne.

Nuair a bhí sí bliain is fiche d’aois, chuaigh sí ar Ollscoil Sydney mar mhac léinn gan chéim, agus rinne sí staidéar ar dhearadh faoin ealaíontóir Astrálach Thea Proctor. Bhí ina heagarthóir agus ina léitheoir ag an bhfoilsitheoir Angus and Robertson.

Phós sí an foilsitheoir Alec Bolton (1926–1996), fear ar bhuail sí leis agus í ag obair ag Angus and Robertson in Sydney, agus bhí triúr clainne acu. Chuir sí aithne ar scríbhneoirí agus ar ealaíontóirí eile, leithéidí an fhile Douglas Stewart, a bhean chéile Margaret Coen arbh ealaíontóir í, an scríbhneoir agus ealaíontóir Norman Lindsay, agus na filí Kenneth Slessor agus James McAuley. Bhí siad ina gcónaí i Londain idir 1966 agus 1971, agus shiúil sí an Eoraip agus chuir feabhas ar an eolas a bhí aici ar an ealaín.

In 1971 d’aistrigh sí féin agus Alec go Canberra, áit ar chuir Alec Rannóg na Foilsitheoireachta ar bun i Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hAstráile. Bhí siad mór leis na filí David Campbell, A. D. Hope, R. F. Brissenden agus leis an gcriticeoir Dorothy Green.

Ceapadh an deirfiúr ba shine aici, Ruth Dobson, mar an gcéad taidhleoir proifisiúnta mná de chuid na hAstráile.

Fuair Rosemary Dobson bás i dteach altranais in Canberra ar an 27 June 2012.

Saothar

Thosaigh Dobson ag scríobh filíochta agus í seacht mbliana d’aois. Foilsíodh an chnuasach aici, In a Convex Mirror, in 1944, agus lean trí chnuasach déag eile é. Tuganna saothar léargas ar an ngrá a bhí aici ar ealaín, ar mhiotaseolaíocht agus ar an tseandacht agus ar a saol mar mháthair.

Mhaígh Douglas Stewart gur dhuine spioradálta í "in the deepest and most important sense". Dúirt Dobson féin i réamhrá Selected Poems (1973):

"I hope it will be perceived that the poems presented here are part of a search for something only fugitively glimpsed, a state of grace which one once knew, or imagined, or from which one was turned away. Surely everyone who writes poetry would agree this is part of it - a doomed but urgent wish to express the inexpressible".

Chuir sí trí dhíolaim in eagar agus aistriúcháin ar fhilíocht Rúiseach in dhá cheann acu, aistriúcháin a rinne sí in éineacht le David Campbell. Scríobh sí prós freisin.

Sliocht

Tall glass, round loaf and tumbled cloth
And leaning flask of smoky brown,
The guttered candle and the cask;
And Time and Silence flowing down,

Welling against the canvas, held
By stroke and feather-touch of paint
As one might build a weir to hold
Some spreading pool in sweet restraint.(Sliocht as "Still Life")

Gloine ard, builín cruinn, éadach
In aimhréidh, fleasc claonta smúite,
An choinneal dhóite is an casca;
Is sileadh anuas an Ama is an Chiúnais

Ag borradh in aghaidh an chanbháis is gafa
Ag teagmháil mhín fhíneáilte na péinte
Mar a thógfá cora a choinneálfadh
Linn leathan i ngreim mínbhéasach.
