All About Jenny Joseph’s Career

After graduating, she had worked variously as a teacher of English as a foreign language, a cleaner (in hard times), and a reporter for local newspapers such as the Oxford Mail; she also worked in South Africa for a radical publishing enterprise, Drum, just as apartheid was coming into full force with the election of the early Nationalist governments. She was in effect expelled from the country for her views, though she was reticent about her life and work during that period.

From the beginning, Joseph’s poems, slowly composed and carefully crafted though almost entirely free in form, showed an appealing ability to catch the detail of everyday living. The Unlooked-for Season (1960), published by John Rolph’s small Scorpion Press, set the tone and the themes for almost all her subsequent writing: sensitive and yet never routine treatment of home and domestic life, childhood, love and loss, nature and natural disasters.

Her first collection of poetry was published in 1960. The poem entitled Warning, a witty poem about growing old, is her most popular work, and the inspiration for the Red Hat Society. A BBC.

‘Warning‘ was identified as the UK’s ‘most popular post-war poem’ in a 1996 poll by the BBC. The second line was the inspiration for the Red Hat Society. Due to its popularity, an illustrated gift edition of ‘Warning’, first published by Souvenir Press Ltd in 1997, has now been reprinted 41 times.

Her first book of poems, ‘The Unlooked-for Season’ won a Gregory Award in 1960 and she won a Cholmondeley Award for her second collection, ‘Rose in the Afternoon’ in 1974.
