She was a English Author of poetry and Children books during WW1.During her childhood she was known to have bad eye sight and she suffered from being frequently ill.
She received the first Hans Christian Andersen Award for lifetime achievement in children's literature.
She wrote many poems and some include:
Peace-
The Sounds in the Evening
There Isn't Time
The Quarrel
Morning Has Broken
My Favorite poem is Peace.In this poem I like the way she compares peace to something which is a killer and horrible,"Let no man call me good.I am not blest". when you read this line you would expect her to be taking about evil not peace as we see peace to be good,nice,blessed.Not the opposite.Also in the poem she writes,"Men in my pause shall know the cost at last". In this she is not just referring to peaces as bad and a killer but that it took away her close friend Edward Thomas.The reason why it describes peace as bad and awful is because it comes too late and it comes at the end,when everyone has been severely injured.
When the War broke out she was 33 years old.

List of Poems which she wrote
Morning has broken (1931)
An example of this is in, Now that you too,she writes "Which in those bloodshot years uncounted men/Have gone in vanishing armies day by day" In this line she is portraying war not too be jolly or great but to be awful and like a killer taking away lives.
In Many of her poems her attitude to war is that it is evil and bad and that it takes away millions of lives and she also goes against young men signing up to join the Army because they have been influenced by propaganda. She see's war as evil because it took away the life of Edward Thomas a very close friend of hers.
When the War broke out she and her family moved to Sussex and there she wrote her famous book Martin Pippin.
At the age of 18 she wrote the libretto for her older brother Harry in his musical piece Floretta. A libretto is a piece of text given to the musician which explains to them their role e.g. stage directions and the text.
She was born into a family of writers. Her father, Benjamin was a novelist. And her brother wrote mystery stories and her other brother was a music composer.
