This volume gathers together the finest of Ruth Pitter’s poems, which in Kathleen Raine’s judgement will survive as long as the English language, with whose expressiveness in image and idea she has kept faith, remains’. In the introduction Elizabeth Jennings  who was herself among the most distinguished of contemporary poets  pays tribute to Pitter’s acute sensibility and deep integrity’ and refers to her precision in observing Nature, her skill with verse forms and the frequency with which she achieves a beautifully communicated vision’.
