Elaine Feinstein's Poetry

Of ELAINE FEINSTEIN's poetry

'She is an extremely fine poet. She has a sinewy, tenacious way of exploring her subject that seems to me unique. Her simple, clean language follows the track of the nerves. There is nothing hit or miss, nothing for effect, nothing false. Reading her poems one feels cleansed and sharpened.' TED HUGHES

Gillian Pachter marvels at a work of poetic alchemy... DAILY TELEGRAPH.

'Lorenzo da Ponte was by turns an alchemist, grocer, Jew, Christian, professor, poet, adulterer and priest in training. Most know him only as Mozart's librettist. But this is not what interests Elaine Feinstein in her wonderfuly subtle tribute GOLD, which is half of her latest collection..... Gillian Pachter, Daily Telegraph

'Her distinctive voice radiates with is usual clarity and intensity... she seems to be writing with greater freedom and urgency than ever' Conor O'Callaghan, Times Literary Supplement
