Heather Buck, born in 1926, began to write in 1966. Her other collections of poetry are ‘At the Window’ (1982), ‘The Sign of the Water Bearer’ (1987) and ‘Psyche Unbound’ (1995), all published by Anvil. She is also the author of a critical study, ‘T S Eliot’s Four Quartets’ (Agenda, 1996). Buck is married and lives in Suffolk. In The Sign of the Water Bearer, her second collection of poems, Heather Buck continues the exploration of ‘the journey inwards and back again to the world’ which began with At the Window (1982). Her poetry has both deepened and clarified in the process, making this a book of outstanding accomplishment.
