Elizabeth Jennings Books

Every Changing Shape , published in 1961 and now in paperback for the firsttime, considers from a Christian poet's perspective how religious or mystical experience informs the imagination. Elizabeth Jennings wrote the book early in her career; it continues to provide crucial readings of her chosen authors and clues to her own poetry.
