  • Alison Brackenbury: The Button Factory in Bologna

    Poetry readings from our 2009 poetry season are no longer available.

    Alison Brackenbury was born in 1953 in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. She went to the village school at Willoughton and then to Brigg High School. She studied for an English degree at St Hugh's College, Oxford. Since 1990 she has worked in the family metal finishing business in Gloucestershire. Brackenbury is a prolific, lyric poet fascinated, as ‘The Button Factory in Bologna’, which is based on the life of Francesca Cuzzoni, one of Handel’s more troublesome divas, illustrates by historical figures. She is also influenced by folk song, landscape and horses – and she reveres John Clare.
