Poet: Frances Cornford
Frances Cornford was a British poet who lived from 1886 to 1960. She was the granddaughter of scientist Charles Darwin. She grew up in Cambridge, which is a very intelligent place, and was a part of the Georgian poetry movement, which was known for its honest and straightforward style. Her writing often uses clear, simple language to make sharp, and sometimes scary, observations about life, getting older, and being human.
