Poetic Obituaries: [Linda Chase] returned to poetry

in the late 1990s. Her sources were back in America: William Carlos Williams, Frank O'Hara and the Beats. Deceptively informal, her verse is colloquial and uninhibited, both in subject and form. She found material everywhere: in a new lover or in new curtains, or perhaps in a piece of spinach lodged in a tooth. She wrote with a disarming straightforwardness, candour and charm, and swiftly published two collections, The Wedding Spy (2001) and Extended Family (2006). A third, Not Many Love Poems, will be published by Carcanet Press later this year.
