Books By Fleur Adcock - Author

Fleur Adcock was born in New Zealand in 1934, and spent the war years in England, returning with her family to New Zealand in 1947. She emigrated to Britain in 1963. She received an OBE in 1996, and the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 2006 for Poems 1960-2000 (2000). Her Collected Poems (2024) supersedes that retrospective with the addition of five later collections, including Glass Wings (2013), which was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, and Hoard (2017), a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation, along with new, previously uncollected poems. In 2019 Fleur Adcock was presented with the New Zealand Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement in Poetry by the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern. She has lived in East Finchley, north London, since 1963.
