Synopsis

"Box of Silver Birch"- The first one went, as he came, too soon. The second jumped into a lily pool and was found three days later. The third, protected by too fierce love, broke free from her lifeline, flew thousands of miles over the sea. Phoebe Hesketh started writing poetry in her thirties. When her "New and Selected Poems", "The Leave Train", were published in 1994, the reviews editor in Orbis wrote that 'Every poem in this generously thick book is beautifully achieved. She is undoubtedly one of the finest poets of our age', and in the "Times Literary Supplement" Alan Brownjohn praised her 'persistent and resourceful talent - and still capable of surprises.' This collection has even more surprises, and confirms that her poetry has lost none of its bit and youthful power.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Phoebe Hesketh, daughter of the pioneer radiologist A.E.Rayner, was born in Preston in 1909 and edcuated at Cheltenham Ladies' College. For most of her life she has lived in Lancashire, in a landscape frequently described in her poetry, and also in her prose books Rivington (1972) and Village of the Mountain Ash (1990). During the Second World War she worked for the Bolton Evening News and was later a freelance lecturer, poetry teacher and journalist, producing many articles for journals and scripts for the BBC. She began writing poetry at an early age, but not until 1948 was her first book published; it was followed by nine further volumes before her Collected Poems were gathered together in 1989. Her poetry for younger readers has been published in A Song of Sunlight (Chatto, 1974) and in Six of the Best (Puffin, 1989). She has published fifteen poetry collections, and became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1956
