Review of 'Selected poems [of] Elizabeth Jennings.' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Jennings' poems are the work of a perfectionist, but not one who views her work as more important than herself. Her poems are definitely an expression of Jennings' struggles with her doubts, fears, loves, and most importantly with her depression and imprisonment in various mental asylums.
Jennings has clearly chosen her every word extremely carefully, to do what poetry does best: expose the poet's emotion.
