==Writing==
Livesay's first collection of poetry, ''Green Pitcher'', was published in 1928, when she was only nineteen. The ''Encyclopedia of Literature'' says, "these were well-crafted poems that not only showed skilled use of the imagist technique but prefigured Margaret Atwood's condemnations of exploitative and fearful attitudes to the Canadian landscape." The book "later disappointed Livesay by its failure to deal openly with social issues.
She published her first short story, "Heat", in the ''Canadian Mercury'' at the same age (in January, 1929).<ref name="Politics, Gender, and New Provinces"/> Her second book of poems, ''Signpost'' (1932), "showed the increasing sophistication of her imagist skills, as in 'Green rain', and an original sense of feminine sexuality."<ref name="Dorothy Livesay Biography"/>
