Your thoughts are right on the mark with respect to Elizabeth Jennings: as you probably know, a great deal of her later poetry is religious. It is interesting that she edited a selection of Christina Rossetti's poems for Faber: a great deal of Rossetti's poetry was religious as well, and Jennings touches on this in her introduction to the selection.<br /><br />Thanks again.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-58725668033744703202011-06-14T01:02:10.174-07:002011-06-14T01:02:10.174-07:00Nice contrast in trajectories.

I can relate to unfathomable meaning needing to be kept in silence, but also to this Elizabeth Jennings poem, how the small answers she had always protected herself with no longer suffice as she gets older and still the big answers loom.WAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403669322174979974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-64752594400649120672011-06-11T20:25:07.504-07:002011-06-11T20:25:07.504-07:00Julie: as always, thanks for stopping by.
