About the Author
Born in Manchester in 1926, Ruth Silcock read English at Girton College, Cambridge, and later became a psychiatric social worker, working with both adults and children. She has published several children's books. Her previous collections of poems `Mrs. Carmichael' (1987) and `A Wonderful View of the Sea' (1996) were also published by Anvil. A successful radio play, `46 Nursing Homes', was based on a sequence of her poems.
Reviews
'There is a potentially popular poetry in England which does not talk down to people or appeal to their self-consciousness, and it is being written by people like Ruth Silcock. Larkin, Betjeman and Stevie Smith would have approved of her poems.'George Szirtes
