Timeline

1933

Anne Stevenson (January 3, 1933 – September 14, 2020) was an American-British poet and writer and recipient of a Lannan Literary Award.

Stevenson was the first daughter of Louise Destler Stevenson and philosopher Charles Stevenson and was born in Cambridge, England, where Charles was studying philosophy.

The family returned to America when she was six months old, moving to New Haven, Connecticut.

She was raised in New England and was educated in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where her father was a professor of philosophy.

Her father was a devoted pianist and lover of poetry and her mother wrote fiction and was a talented storyteller.

Stevenson learnt piano and cello and she assumed until she was 19 that she would be a professional musician.

She studied music and languages, at the University of Michigan, where she began to lose her hearing; she prepared to be a writer instead.

1954

Obtaining her bachelor's degree in 1954 and graduating with honours, she returned to the UK where she lived the rest of her life.

Stevenson married a childhood friend but her romantic ideals dissolved and the marriage was not a success.

She noted that "it took me two unhappy marriages and three children to make me reconsider my assumptions."

1960

In the 1960s she lived and wrote in Cambridge, Glasgow, Dundee and Oxford.

She was writer in residence at the University of Dundee and co-founded Other Poetry (magazine) with Evangeline Patterson.

1979

In 1979, with Michael Farley, she started The Poetry Bookshop in Hay-on-Wye and in 1982 she moved to Sunderland, then Durham, where she lived with her husband Peter Lucas.

1989

Her 1989 biography of the American poet Sylvia Plath, Bitter Fame: A Life of Sylvia Plath, sparked controversy; the ordeal that Stevenson endured in writing the book and in its reception were the focus of a 1993 series of articles in The New Yorker, by Janet Malcolm, which became the book The Silent Woman.

Stevenson used a hearing aid; several of her poems (including "Hearing with my Fingers" and "On Going Deaf") refer to her experience of deafness.

Alfred Hickling at the Guardian reviewed Stevenson's work:

"To arrive at a true understanding of Anne Stevenson's poetry, you have to go deep. In fact, the Deep is a very good place to start. Jutting into the Humber estuary like a vast steel fin, the Deep is Hull's impressive new aquatic attraction – where you expect to find tropical fish rather than topical poetry – yet the first thing the visitor sees, before descending to the bottom of Europe's deepest tank, is a line by Stevenson: 'The sea is as near as we come to another world.'"Stevenson also wrote the poem "The Miracle of Camp 60".

1992

It is a description of the Italian Chapel on the Orkney Island of Lamb Holm in 1992, from the perspective of a fictive Italian ex-POW.

'The miracle of Camp 60' is also used to refer directly to the Chapel in some cases.

2011

As of 2011 she had six grandchildren.

Stevenson was the author of over a dozen volumes of poetry and books of essays and literary criticism, including two critical studies of the poet Elizabeth Bishop.

2020

Stevenson died from heart failure on September 14, 2020, at the age of 87.
