Books
by Elizabeth Jennings

A Spell of Words |
I have always loved anthologies of poetry but less often collections featuring one poet. But this changes my mind. How did I miss it? A selection of the poems by Elizabeth Jennings for children published in 1997. You have to get it from the National Poetry Library. These are not poems written for children so there is no “talking down”. What a lovely, thoughtful poet she was. This is a perfect entrée if you have never read anything by her and brings welcome familiarity if her work is already known to you. Due for a reprint!
