Sitting near to the grave of Samuel Pepys and remembering his observation that ‘where there is much light, there is also much shadow’.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Helen Vendler's death. Helen was one of the world's finest poetry critics, renowned for her intellect, rigour & love of the art. She was SH's most trusted poetic confidant, colleague and beloved friend. Our condolences to David and her family.
RIP Helen Vendler—such a wonderful literary critic and sensitive reader of, among many others, Herbert. Here’s her starburst arrangement of Herbert’s sonnet “Prayer (I)”

Frank Field: a devoted Christian who always took care to include humanists in every initiative he took on poverty and other issues locally and nationally. Speaking with him about the overlapping values shared by people of all beliefs genuinely shaped my own ethics. A good man.
Frank Field was someone whose Christian faith & principles drove his politics, particularly his commitment to the poorest in society; inspired by his vision of the kingdom of God, he did not let ideology get in the way of a politics that helps those who need it most. May he RIP.
I never met Helen Vendler but she changed my life, and taught me how not to be embarrassed by my love of poetry’s magic. Her books taught me to love Keats and shaped my enduring love of Shakespeare’s sonnets. What a dreadfully sad loss.
I so loved Frank Field. The finest sort of left winger. Rest in peace lovely man. We are all the poorer for your loss.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Helen Vendler's death. Helen was one of the world's finest poetry critics, renowned for her intellect, rigour & love of the art. She was SH's most trusted poetic confidant, colleague and beloved friend. Our condolences to David and her family.
RIP Helen Vendler—such a wonderful literary critic and sensitive reader of, among many others, Herbert. Here’s her starburst arrangement of Herbert’s sonnet “Prayer (I)”
