Fine unsigned photo by Mark GERSON signed and inscribed in pencil by the photographer, showing her half length standing outside a house, 9½" x 7½" in frame 15½" x 12½", London, no date

She was born in Exmouth, Devon into a family of Plymouth Brethren. She moved away from her religious background as a young adult, becoming a teacher and academic. She began to write poetry after World War II, while living in Italy; she is most often classified as a 'New Romantic' poet comparable to John Heath-Stubbs. On her own account, however, there is a discontinuity in her work.
Mark Gerson is a portrait photographer of major 20th century literary figures and other personalities from 1948 to the present day.
