A Dart of Green and Blue by Elizabeth Barrett
This is highly-charged poetry - intelligent, honest, unsentimental, exciting - full of surprises and with an unflagging pace and energy from the start. In four sections, the book contains sequences on the death of the poet's mother and the quarrying of Portland stone, as well poems exploring old and new relationships, dying and developing love.
Born in Sheffield in 1961, Elizabeth Barrett has a first degree and PhD in History and Politics from the University of London and was a scholarship student at the University of Massachusetts in the 1980s. She later trained as an English teacher, subsequently working in education research and as a university lecturer. She has received several awards for her poetry including an Arts Council of England Writer's Award in 2000. She has worked as a writer-in-residence in schools, a prison and on local radio, and as a creative writing tutor and poetry editor. 'A Dart of Green and Blue' is her fourth book. She has two children and lives in Sheffield where she is Principal Lecturer in Education at Hallam University.
