Editing Laura Riding (section)

===Later writings===
The 62 numbered passages of ''The Telling'', a "personal evangel", formed the "core part" of a book of the same title, thought by some to be her most important book alongside ''Collected Poems''.<ref>Athlone, 1972; Harper & Row, 1973; Carcanet, 2005.</ref> Writings and publications continued to flow throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties, as Laura (Riding) Jackson (her authorial name from 1963 onwards) explored what she regarded as the truth-potential of language, free from the artificial restrictions of poetic art. "My faith in poetry was at heart a faith in language as the elementary wisdom," she had written in 1976 ("The Road To, In, And Away From, Poetry", ''Reader'' 251). Her later writings attest to what she regarded as the truth-potential contained in language and in the human mind. She might be regarded as a spiritual teacher whose unusually high valuation of language, led her to choose literature as the locus of her work. Two issues of ''Chelsea'' were given over to new writings by her, ''It Has Taken Long'' (1976) and ''The Sufficient Difference'' (2001).

She was awarded the [[Bollingen Prize]] in 1991.<ref>{{Cite web|title=A Mannered Grace|url=https://www4.ntu.ac.uk/laura_riding/books/38530gp.html|access-date=2021-05-02|website=www4.ntu.ac.uk}}</ref>
