Collected Poems - Softcover

'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

"Love Poem" - Your total absence rehearsal of my death in this game there is no substitute all symbol gone the knife flicks home for real. 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.
