Born in London to a Scottish mother and an English father, poet and scholar Kathleen Jessie Raine was educated at the University of Cambridge’s Girton College. A visionary poet whose work probed the intersection of science and mysticism, Raine bridged elements of Jungian psychology and neo-Platonism in her work. In 1981, with Brian Keeble, Keith Critchlow, and Philip Sherrard, Raine founded the literary journal Temenos and the Temenos Press. With the support of Prince Charles, she also founded the Temenos Academy. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, Raine received the Queen’s Gold Medal for Literature, the Harriet Monroe Memorial Prize, the Oscar Blumenthal Prize, the Chapelbrook Award, the Cholmondeley Award, and the Smith Literary Award and a Commandeur de L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettre.
