Ruth Fainlight : New Collected Poems before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised New Collected Poems:

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I bought this for the poem about Plath, but WOW!By Fixed Stars Govern a LifeRuth Fainlight is an amazing poet. As a scholar, I wanted to read her poem, "Autumn Stirring," which she wrote for her friend Sylvia Plath. It's a terrific poem, but the rest of the book has delighted me as well. Fainlight is a rare talent whose work should be better known. I think she's known more for the dedication to her by Plath in "Elm," than for Fainlight's own career. Pity. If you like mystic-themes and symbolism, sharp, biting, smart poetry that doesn't lay on a lot of sentimentality, this is a book for you.

Born in New York City, Ruth Fainlight has lived mostly in England since the age of 15, and published her first collection, Cages, in 1966. Each of her poems is a balancing act between thought and feeling, revealing otherness within the everyday, often measuring subtle shifts in relationships between women and men. This substantial New Collected Poems covers work written over 50 years, drawing on over a dozen books and including a whole new collection.

'Ruth Fainlight has always been a painterly poet, sensuous and observant, who has paid particular attention to myth as it shapes destiny or gives meaning - the reader is aware of images being thought and felt through, the mind winding itself into narratives, prompted now by pain, now loss, now keen pleasure' - George Szirtes, Times Literary Supplement. 'If there is a suggestion of feminist defiance here, so much the better; at least Fainlight isn't strident. With so much talent and confidence, she doesn't need to be' - Derek Mahon, of Books.About the AuthorRuth Fainlight was born in New York City in 1931.
