Sonnets - Sylvia Townsend Warner was born in 1893 and spent much of her life in rural Dorset with her lesbian partner, the poet Valentine Ackland.
Although she's best known for her historical novels Warner was also a fine poet, too.
Libby Spurrier spoke to Isobel Armstrong, of Birkbeck College, and Janet Todd, at the University of Glasgow about To no believable blue I turn my eyes, a sonnet from Sylvia Townsend Warner's sequence of poems, Astrophysics.
You can find 'To no believable blue I turn my eyes' in 'The Oxford Book of Sonnets' edited by John Fuller, published by Oxford Paperbacks; ISBN: 0192803891.
