Abstract
And one day you will see that there are no answers, only the places we make.-Diana Evans, 26aThe places in which we live shape us and we, in turn, shape those places.How this happens, and to what ends, is the focus of this book.By exploring the life and writing of a singularly interesting character, writer Phebe Florence Miller, in the context of her historical and cultural location, twentieth-century Newfoundland and Labrador, it is possible to grasp some of the compelling and complex ways this reciprocal relationship operates.Phebe Florence Miller, poet and postmistress of Topsail, Conception Bay, was born in 1889.She lived in this small farming and fishing community, just 30 kilometres southwest of St. John's, now the provincial capital, for her entire life.Miller enjoyed a long literary career and achieved a measure of local fame in the 1920s and '30s with the publication of a book of her poetry.Yet in spite of all this, and her fascinating life, her work has received little attention since her death in 1979.This book, a study of Miller's writing and her writing life, is intended to rectify Miller's erasure from history.But more than that, it explores the multiple facets of Miller's identity as a Newfoundland 1 woman and poet, how this identity was structured by her place(s) in the world, and how her identity, in turn, affected the places of which she was a part.Thus the finished product is meant, as Helen Buss has phrased it, to "both deconstruct the traditional views of the female subject, and reconstruct female subjects from the anonymity of history" (2).As a female subject, Miller does not conform to "traditional views" of Newfoundland womanhood in the early twentieth century.There is a commonly mentioned, limited spectrum of Newfoundland womanhood that is bookended by the imagined stereotypes of the stalwart fisherman's wife and

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
