	Description:		Elizabeth (Joan) Jennings CBE (18 July 1926 – 26 October 2001[1]) was an English poet. Regarded as traditionalist rather than an innovator, Jennings is known for her lyric poetry and mastery of form.[2] Her work displays a simplicity of metre and rhyme shared with Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis and Thom Gunn, all members of the group of English poets known as The Movement.[2] She always made it clear that, whilst her life, which included a spell of severe mental illness, contributed to the themes contained within her work, she did not write explicitly autobiographical poetry. Her deeply held Roman Catholicism coloured much of her work.[2] *Bio via Wikipedia.* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
