Biography
Frances Horovitz was born in London. She was educated at Bristol University and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. As a reader and presenter for the BBC, she acquired a reputation for care of preparation and quality of delivery. Her poetry has been described as "not that of the ‘age’ but of the earth" by Anne Stevenson and, according to Peter Levi, "her poetry does seem to me to approach greatness". Influenced by Haiku, her poems give voice to her perceptions of the natural world, history and human relationships.
Horovitz was married to Michael Horovitz and Roger Garfitt, both poets. Her only child Adam Horovitz (born 1971) is also a poet. She died at the age of 45.
