Is file agus scríbhneoir dhátheangach í Rita Kelly le fada an lá. Ina cnuasach nua Aistear Dánta, tá friotal thar a bheith pearsanta aici, dírithe ar chairde atá ag scríobh leo, atá ar shlí na fírinne, atá ag titim i ngrá, atá ag múineadh scoile, nó ina suí i seomra scoile is a saol go léir os a comhair. Is géarshúileach í agus an tírdhreach á mheas aici, an tírdhreach céanna a spreagann an chuimhne. Phós sí Eoghan Ó Tuairisc sa bliain 1972. Thug lucht INNTI an chéad deis dhóibh comhdhán a fhoilsiú le chéile i 1972 agus uaidh sin amach go bás Eoghain i 1982 bhí an saol eatarthu mar chomhdhán sa chiall is leithne den téarma. Ina leabhar Le Gean ó Mháirtín, déanann sí cuir síos ar a chomhfhregras is a cairdeas le Máirtín Ó Direáin.
