'''Rosamund Marriott Watson''' ([[1860]] – [[1911]]) was a Victorian poet and critic who wrote under the pseudonym of '''Graham R. Tomson'''. Her poems, which presaged [[modernism]], are informed by [[aestheticism]] and occasionally avant-garde sensibilities. Watson's personal life was fraught with scandal, she left first husband George Armytage and wed the artist Arthur Graham Tomson. She later left him for H.B. Marriott Watson, a journalist. Several of her poems were published in [[the Yellow Book]]. Her volumes of poetry included ''Tares'' (1884), ''A Summer Night'' (1891) and ''After Sunset'' (1903). A novel, ''An Island Rose'', was published in 1900. Watson also wrote prolifically on gardening, and her essays on the subject were published in ''the Heart of a Garden'' (1906). She wrote several columns on interior design and fashion, some of which were collected in ''the Art of the House'' (1897). Her collected poems were published in 1912 with an introduction by H.B. Marriott Watson. A biography of Watson, entitled ''Graham R.'', was published in 2005.
