"Landscape from a Dream" is Elisabeth Bletsoe's first collection in ten years and offers startling evidence of a powerful voice that should be better known. Very much a poet of place, Elisabeth Bletsoe fuses elements of folklore, botany, literature, myth and narrative into a poetry that is at once feminist in spirit, forthright, and - to a certain extent - at odds with the prevailing poetic styles in Britain, whether conservative or radical. Rooted in the landscape of her native Dorset, this is poetry of deep observation, but also a poetry in which she gives voice to some of Thomas Hardy's heroines - not just Tess Durbeyfield, but lesser-known characters such as Marty South from The Woodlanders - characters who are much a part of this Dorset landscape as Bletsoe's poetry.
