Two Women Dancing: New & Selected Poems

By Elizabeth Bartlett

Elizabeth Bartlett's powerfully evocative poems are remarkable for their painfully truthful insights into people's lives. Born in 1924, she worked for many years in the Health Service. For Peter Forbes, she was poetry's chronicler of today's 'damaged Britain' . . . 'She writes about people in extreme states, some of which she has experienced herself . . . '

'She fills her poems with ordinary, awkward lives and voices, fleshing out her casebook with a deftness that is only apparently offhand, unshockable. The emotional payload is in fact often dizzying' - Carol Rumens, Poetry Review.
