1998. Selected Poems by Hazel Archard

About the Author: Hazel Archard was born Hazel Thorpe in Eastbourne on 1st June 1920, the youngest child of the family. Her education took her to Eastbourne High School and she later graduated in French and German at London University.
During the war, she was a teacher, which she carried on after the cessation of hostilities, at the Lewes County Grammar School for Boys. She moved posts to start teaching at Eastbourne High School and later gave this up to look after her husband's elderly aunt.
At the Lewes Little Theatre, she met her future husband James Archard, who was a farmer on a small farm at Piltdown Sussex. She died shortly after their golden wedding anniversary from a massive stroke, never having regained consciousness.
Her poetry interests manifested themselves in her membership of the Downland Poets' Group in Eastbourne. She was also a member of the Labour party, Friends of the Earth and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (for which she spent many nights camping at Greenham Common)
