The Leave Train
Every poem in this generously thick book is beautifully achieved. She is undoubtedly one of the finest poets of our age. - Orbis
Threads of Song
'Poetry is a painting in the mind - Without palette and brush it mixes words into images.' PHOEBE HESKETH This commemorative collection of poems by Phoebe Hesketh has been selected by her son, Martin Hesketh. The collection includes poems from the twelve volumes and collections of her poetry that were published during her lifetime, her poems for younger children and 38 late poems not published previously. Although she started her career as a poet comparatively late in life, Phoebe Hesketh had shown great facility with verse from a young age, winning a prestigious poetry prize while still in her teens. Writing in a deceptively simple idiom, she gained many admirers over the years for the combination of intellectual rigour and emotional honesty found in her work and, in particular, for her precise and powerfully evocative descriptions of the natural world. 'Phoebe Hesketh is one of England's strongest and most genuine poets.'ANNE STEVENSON
A Box of Silver Birch
Phoebe Hesketh started writing poetry in her thirties, and now, more than 50 years on, she is still writing with vitality, skill and enthusiasm. This new collection has even more surprises, and confirms that her poetry has lost none of its bite and youthful power.
Sundowner
When Phoebe Hesketh’s collected poems Netting the Sun were published by Enitharmon in 1989, reviewers were quick to praise her considerable achievements in a writing career of over forty years: Outposts described the book as 'a solid and significant collection of poems that deserves to reach a wider audience’, and P.N. Review called it 'an immensely rewarding book distinguished by a lucid intelligence and a quiet integrity’. In Sundowner, a newly-written selection, Phoebe Hesketh shows again her skill and vitality in poems that explore familiar themes with freshness, humour and a remarkable stoicism.
