Elizabeth Jennings 
Selected Poems [EPUB ebook] 

Selected Poems draws on all the books Elizabeth Jennings published before Growing-Points. It represents the poet’s own distillation of the first two decades of her writing – the poems which established her as one of the most passionate and precise of our writers, a woman of humane values, religious vision and natural sympathy. ’The outstanding thing about Jennings’s poetry, ’ wrote Douglass Dunn, ’is its wisdom, hard-earned from grief and religious faith.’ And Peter Levi says, ’She is one of the few living poets we could not do without.’
