Frances Horovitz | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Frances Horovitz’s poems have the clarity of ballad and the power of myth. Her finely honed lyrics 'strike to areas of the soul as old as humanity itself'. Many were inspired by the remote Cotswold valley where she lived for ten years; others by the border country of Cumbria and the Welsh Marches.

Her posthumous Collected Poems (1985) was one of the landmark volumes of postwar British poetry. She was one of the finest ever readers of poetry, and this edition includes a QR code linked to a recording of her reading her poetry, made in 1982, with an interview, which can be played on a phone while reading her poems. The ebook with audio edition of this book includes the audio files which can be played on an iPad while reading the ebook.
