Praises

by Elizabeth Jennings

In Praises Elizabeth Jennings celebrates. She brings into vision details of the daily world often overlooked - the pillow, the safety-pin, the bath tap - as well as the worlds of passion, grief and love. 'Concerning History' is her most ambitious extended poem to date, a meditation and an experiment in form. It is accompanied by lyric poems, elegies and the reflections of a writer always curious about the human creature with its spiritual dimensions.

Spiritualism, loss and meditations at night. Her poems on grief are particularly affecting.
