About the Book

In The Clinic, Memory, Elaine Feinstein has selected poems from the last half century of her writing life. They range widely: tender, early lyrics from In a Green Eye; elegies for her father and close friends, amused reflections on ageing and longer poems such as Gold, based on the life of Lorenzo da Ponte, Mozarts librettist, or the lot of refugees in Migration. Other poems explore the conflicts in a long marriage, teased out most poignantly in poems for her late husband in Talking to the Dead.

About the Author :
Elaine Feinstein writes poems, novels, and plays as well as reviews for most newspapers. In 1959 Charles Olson sent her his famous letter defining breath prosody, but she developed her own voice through making versions of the poems of Marina Tsvetaeva, a New York Times Book of the Year. Her first novel, The Circle (1970) was longlisted for the lost Man Booker prize in 2010. Her five biographies include Ted Hughes: The Life of a Poet (2001) shortlisted for the biennial Marsh Biography Prize, and re-issued in 2016 ; and Anna of all the Russias: The life of Annna Akhmatova (2005) which has been translated into twelve languages, including Russian. She has served as a judge for all the major literary Awards, and was Chairman of the Judges for the T.S. Eliot Prize in 1995.

Review :
'Elaine Feinstein has made the juncture between poetry and memoir her own. As befits a poet who is also a master of fiction and biography, she writes with casual erudition and an acute storyteller's eye. Her forays into European culture and history are dazzling.' Fiona Sampson; 'For more than 40 years, Feinstein has been writing intensely lyrical, finely crafted poems.' Independent; 'Here we have a life, a person in the world opened up with intelligence and tact.' Martina Evans, The Irish Times
