Description

Fleur Adcock (b.1934) is a New Zealander by birth but spent part of her childhood in England, returning to live in London in 1963. The influence of her migratory childhood can be traced in her work's exploration of identity. From this page, you can hear the voice of Fleur Adcock reading five of her poems, "The Ex-Queen Among the Astronomers," "Immigrant," "Leaving the Tate," "The Russian War," and "For Meg."

Content Provider

Poetry Archive exists to help make poetry accessible, relevant and enjoyable to a wide audience. It came into being as a result of a meeting, in a recording studio, between Andrew Motion, soon after he became U.K. Poet Laureate in 1999, and the recording producer, Richard Carrington. They agreed about how enjoyable and illuminating it is to hear poets reading their work and about how regrettable it was that, even in the recent past, many important poets had not been properly recorded.
