Selected Poems

by Frances Bellerby, Anne Stevenson (Editor)

Of Frances Bellerby’s work Kathleen Raine has ‘Frances Bellerby stands in the tradition of Emily Brontë (or Dickinson for that matter), making of her inner solitude a source of experience whose intensity and integrity earn her a place among the few women writers who have realized to the full the range and scope of their inner life. This selection of her best work, with an excellent biographical introduction by Robert Gittings, appearing eleven years after her death, ensures that Frances Bellerby will not be forgotten by discriminating readers with a gift of finding hidden treasures among England’s many excellent minor poets.’
