Jean Harrison

Broschiertes Buch

The distance between us

Beschreibung

There is often a wry humour at work below the surface of these poems, and always a commitment to careful, concise observations, proving she had a painter's eye and a poet's heart.

Autor

Jean Harrison was an accomplished writer whose poems were rewarded with prizes and commendations and achieved placements on prestigious shortlists as well as publication in very many UK literary magazines. Following her debut poetry collection in 2008, Jean had a second volume of poems and two novels published, all by Cinnamon Press, and a pamphlet-sized collection, The Tilt, by Wayleaves Press. Upon graduation from Oxford, Jean qualified as a teacher, a career which took her to Kent, Warwick, Ghana, Leeds, Birmingham, Watford and Exeter, before her retirement to Settle in North Yorkshire. In 2003 Jean was a founder member of Settle Sessions. Based at the Folly, Settle's Museum. This organisation of poets arranges workshops and regular readings where poets with national reputations are invited to perform alongside local poets. Jean died in February 2020 having all but completed the manuscript of this now posthumous collection.
