description: Elizabeth Bartlett's powerfully evocative poems are remarkable for their painfully truthful insights into people's lives. Born in 1924, she has worked for many years in the Health Service, and has come in contact with many everyday tragedies: suicide, incest, and mental instability. She has been called poetry's "chronicler of today's damaged Britain". She writes about people in extreme states, some of which she has experienced herself. The poems in this new collection continue with her unrelenting truth telling-"a daybook of a night-nurse of the soul".
