under-mothered, under-schooled, make their own nurturance. Her work variously calls on Imagination, Nature and God, infusing these forces with the surge of her own energy, bravery, honesty and need. So closely acquainted with death and loss, Emily Brontё can be almost terrifyingly on the side of life.

No Coward Soul Is Mine

from Carol Rumens: The Guardian: Books blog: Poem of the week: No Coward Soul Is Mine by Emily Brontë
