It is also a quite charming book, though not immediately obvious in retrospect how Elizabeth had really developed 'a new style' as she explains in the enclosed Poetry Book Society leaflet but it must have seemed like a departure for her at the time.
I look forward very much to the biography in September when we can intrude further into the life of this modest, if not quite unassuming poet, who already seems like somebody likeable but almost quaint from a bygone age, much to her credit.
