About
Elizabeth Jennings was born in Boston, Lincolnshire, UK. She was an English poet. She was educated at St. Anne’s College, Oxford. Her first pamphlet, Poems, appeared in 1953, followed by A Way of Looking, which won her a Somerset Maugham Award and enabled her to visit Italy. Song for a Birth or a Death marked a new development, with its confessional tone and more savage view of love. Other works include The Animals’ Arrival, Lucidities, Relationships, Extending the Territory, and Familiar Spirits, Recoveries, and The Mind Has Mountains. She also published poetry for children.
