@Therapyisgood: The review is done and the article is on hold. The main problem with this nomination is its broadness; after reading the article I'm still failing to see how is she notable. Surely the almost Poet Laureate of the UK's has a lot of sources out there that can help to establish her notability. I highly recommend more information to be added regarding the content of her works and their influence. Regards. The Blue Rider22:47, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Various sources describe her mother as dominant or the dominant parent. How did that impact her? Doesn't Mrs Beer's House, perhaps, offer any insight into that?
Patricia went to Exmouth Grammar School after earning a scholarship, where she continued after her mother's death. Why did her mother die? Why would she not continue after her mother's death?
Contemporary critics influenced Beer, with her stating she could not do her best poetry while thinking about them. Why wasn't she fond of contemporary critics?
Add wikilink to simile in incorporating personae and simile.
The following phrase uses incorporating two times in a row, I suggest the following rewrite: she moved from incorporating personae and simile to incorporating metaphor → her writing shifted from the use of personae and similes to incorporating metaphor.
Beer integrated literary figures native to England into her 1993 work Friend of Heraclitus. Examples of the literally figures native to England?
James Persoon and Robert R. Watson of the Encyclopedia of British Poetry, 1900 to the Present cite Gerard Manley Hopkins as an influence... The attribution here seems somewhat futile since both the authors and the encyclopedia are not notable, also it's quite wordy. I suggest the following rewrite: Gerard Manley Hopkins is cited as an influence...
The sentence, "legends and landscapes of the West Country also form the background for many of her poems" doesn't fall into WP:QUOTEUSE, so I suggest it to be rephrased as prose.
While that's true, it is still generally good to follow it. This quotation could be easily rewritten as prose, otherwise it can raise concerns about its fair use. The Blue Rider12:03, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Her Reader, in which she found Jane Austen's women characters to be wanting due to their chasing marriage, represented feminism's early impact on academic criticism. The independent clause that is between commas is too big and makes the phrase confusing to read.
He cites her prosaic poems as her real problem. Does Schimdt offer any insight on why he thinks that?
Overly lengthy attribution, specially since neither the journal nor the author are notable: In the journal AAA: Arbeiten aus Anglistik und Amerikanistik, Göran Nieragden states Beer's "I" stages ego.... I suggest the removal of the journal attribution.
The image is non-free and as so, per WP:NFURG, it should have a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. The latter is in place but the former is missing. The image is relevant to the topic and has a suitable caption.
Contemporary critics influenced Beer, with her stating she could not do her best poetry while thinking about them. Why wasn't she fond of contemporary critics?
The specific source to which it's cited doesn't say. But I'll keep looking out for it, if I recall correctly that specific tidbit is in several sources. Therapyisgood (talk) 03:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hymns were the first poetry Beer wrote. What were those hymns about?

The source doesn't say ("[l]iterary figures, both fictional and nonfictional, are often incorporated into her poetry, and her 1993 volume Friend of Heraclitus includes both a series of sonnets based on her native region of England and examples of modern imagism"). I've cut the "into her 1993 work Friend of Heraclitus" and added "into works frequently" as that doesn't appear to be supported by the source. I will continue to look for examples of her incorporation of literary figures native to England. Therapyisgood (talk) 03:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
...as "more droll than sad". Mullan called her style overall wry melancholy. Why does he call it that?
Death is a theme throughout her poetry, especially in Autumn (1997). How is the theme employed in the book?
