Items related to Mrs Perkins & Oedipus
Elizabeth Bartlett worked for many years in the Health Service, and Peter Forbes has called her poetry's chronicler of today's ""damaged Britain"" ""She writes about people in extreme states, some of which she has experienced herself."" In this 80th birthday collection, she mourns the loss of her husband and squares up to ill fortune, but recalls past loves and times with openness, honesty, and stoically grouchy humor.

About the Author:
Elizabeth Bartlett was born in 1924 and grew up in Kent. She lives in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. She has published three books with Bloodaxe: Two Women Dancing: New & Selected Poems (1995), Appetites of Love (2001) and Mrs Perkins and Oedipus (2004). Edited by Carol Rumens, Two Women Dancing drew on more than 50 years of writing and was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
Review:
"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."
