User talk:Started 1959

January 2025

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Jehane Markham, from its old location at User:Started 1959/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. ~Liance^talk 18:21, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - yes some! She didn't have mainstream publication but a cult following. She had reviews of her books in print in poetry magazines eg Ambit Magazine, but they are not online. The Ambit archive was online but when Ambit went out of print it went offline, but all the print copies are in the Poetry Library in London's Royal Festival Hall. Online I have found the following. Are they sufficient? Many thanks!

Hello there - another thought was that she was peer-reviewed by a number of prominent poets whose quotes appear on the covers of her poetry collections - can I use these and reference the publications via their ISBNs perhaps?

Reception

"This is gentle, tender intimacy and it is enriching to spend time with these lines." John Hegley

"In Jehane Markham's collection poems of memory, love and loss speak directly to the reader with a sincerity and a simplicity that is hard to achieve. I would take a heart of stone not to be moved by poems the likes of Highgate Cemetery." Brian Patten

"Here's the world brought home to the rag and bone shop of the heart and made welcome, manageable, lovable even, without ceasing to be itself in all its strangeness and grandeur." Gillian Allnutt

"Jehane Markham creates delicate epiphanies of scenes familiar and unfamiliar... a nuanced memory map of home and elsewhere, touched in with many colours and alive with feeling." Marina Warner

"Jehane Markham is a true poet. Many of her poems glow like Impressionist paintings. You can taste the colours – a red cupboard hotter than love ’ the yellow dazzle of straw in a barn – glinting turquoise water and the tingle of silver."
