Elizabeth Jennings (1926-2001) published around 27 books of her poetry spanning five decades; she edited poetry anthologies and selections; she was a prolific reviewer and critic. She was awarded several literary prizes and the CBE in 1992. Her work has featured on GCSE and A level curricula, is widely anthologized and is read at weddings or funerals. For most of her life she lived in Oxford where a road, Elizabeth Jennings Way, is named after her.
