Ms Gregorieff was a child prodigy who had several poems published when very young. A quotation from one of these poems ("All people are made alike. They are made of bones, flesh and dinners. Only the dinners are different") has been collected in many anthologies, although her maiden name is usually misspelled as Cheney.
