Elizabeth Jennings

One Flesh by Elizabeth Jennings Lying apart now, each in a separate bed,  He with a book, keeping the light on late,  She like a girl dreaming of childhood,  All men elsewhere - it is as if they wait  Some new event: the book he holds unread,  Her eyes fixed on the shadows overhead.  Tossed up like flotsam from a former passion,  How cool they lie. They hardly ever touch,  Or if they do, it is like a confession  Of having little feeling - or too much.  Chastity faces them, a destination 

doctoral research project intends to analyze and study diversity in unity in the poetry of Elizabeth Jennings who is the only woman poet of the 1950s —— The Movement.

Throughout Elizabeth Jenning’s poem ‘Reminiscence’, she explores the changing nature of love and its transformation between childhood and adulthood. She indulges in the purity of love that exists within the simplistic aspects of children's lives as she discusses the loss of naivety during the ascendence into the complexities of adulthood. Demonstrating the innocence of childhood, Jenning’s displays a sense of freedom associated with their lack of anxiety and nuances. In opposition to such, adulthood

very difficult period for Jennings mentally. Her experience left her sensitive women who had triumphed over her weaker style. However her struggle to develop her craft and to endure the mental pressures had now resulted in producing a positive force that is a renewed interest in religion. Many poems of this volume were not included in the Collected Poems. The reason could be that there was much controversy about whether these poems were confessional or not. Elizabeth Jennings does not think so and does

The Art of Reinvention What is reinvention? Reinvention is the art of changing something or someone that existed previously, and assigning it a new designated role. Prior to undergoing a reinvention, someone must experience enough pain in their current situation to aspire a need for it. An effective reinvention is when someone is able to create something completely different out of the life they previously lived. Characters from The Americans, Breaking Bad, and Gone Girl all reinvented themselves

In this essay I shall explore the way poets Phillip Larkin and Elizabeth Jennings both show love. For Larkin I shall look at An Arundel tomb and Wild Oats and for Jennings I shall look at Absence and Disguises. I will consider the way in which the two poets deal with the idea of love as timeless.I will also explore themes of authenticity and identity in their poems about love.

Relationships in Long Distance by Tony Harrison and My Grandmother by Elizabeth Jennings The two poems that I wish to compare are both about relationships, "Long distance" by Tony Harrison and "My grandmother" by Elizabeth Jennings. Both are about family and grief which they explore through the theme of death. The speaker of the poems talks about the loss of a relationship that had once existed. "Long distance" has a much closer relationship theme than "My grandmother".

Johnny Cash may have grown up working on a cotton farm, but he had big dreams. Johnny Cash was born on February 26, 1932 in a small town called Dyess, just outside of Kingsland, Arkansas (“Johnny Cash” 1). Growing up in a small town may have been one of the major factors that kept Cash humble in his later years. Cash grew up in poverty with his mom, Carrie, his dad, Ray, and his seven brothers and sisters (“Johnny” 1). Because Cash was raised this way, he did not care about the money that was
