About the Author

Frances Horovitz was greatly loved and respected not only as a poet but also as a broadcaster and performer of poetry. She was one of the finest poetry readers this country has produced. She had a rare ability to hear a poem and become its voice. She published four collections of poems, including Water Over Stone (Enitharmon Press, 1980) and Snow Light, Water Light(Bloodaxe Books, 1983). She died in 1983, aged 45, after a long illness.

Review

'Frances Horovitz inherits the mantle of Kathleen Raine and of Frances Bellerby. It is an honour to be able to say that her voice is not that of the A"ageA" but of the earth.' Anne Stevenson'She has pervect rhythm, great delicacy and a rather Chinese yet very locally British sense of landscape ... her poetry does seem to me to approach greatness.' Peter Levi
