Jennie Feldman née Goldman (born 1952) is a South African-born English poet and translator.
Life
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1952, she grew up in London and studied French at St Hilda's College, Oxford.
She worked as a producer and presenter of radio documentaries, one of which, The House on the Hill on the Spafford Children's Centre in Jerusalem, was awarded a Gold Medal in the 1990 International Radio Festival of New York.
Feldman has published three poetry collections: The Lost Notebook (2005), which was shortlisted for the Glen Dimplex Poetry Award in 2006, Swift (2012), and No Cherry Time (2022) and four works of translated French poetry and prose.
These include the anthology Into the Deep Street: Seven Modern French Poets, 1938-2008 (2009), co-edited with Stephen Romer, which has been described as «the best parallel-text introduction to modern and contemporary French poetry available». It was awarded a special commendation by the judges of the 2011 Popescu European Poetry Translation Prize.
Her poems, translations, reviews and essays have appeared in several journals, including The Times Literary Supplement, Poetry Review, PN Review and Stand.
