| Poet, born in Ilford, E Greater London, UK. Educated at home, she emigrated to the USA in 1948, and became a US citizen in 1955. She was appointed poetry editor of The Nation in 1961. Her first collection of verse was published in 1946, and others have appeared steadily.

Selected Poems appeared in 1986, and among her later works was A Door in the Hive (1993). |
