Autor

Frances Horovitz (1938-85) was greatly loved and respected not only as a poet, but also as a broadcaster and performer of poetry, notably of Thomas Hardy and John Keats with biographer Robert Gittings, and readings of Russian women poets in Among the Witnesses on BBC Radio 3. She was one of our finest readers of poetry, possessing 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. Her Collected Poems (1985) was edited by her husband, the poet and critic Roger Garfitt, with a new edition issued in 2011 with an audio CD of her reading her work included. Those readings are now available on SoundCloud via a QR code added with a track list to the current printing of the book (which no longer includes a CD).
