Thanks to everyone for supplying details. Of course, I exaggerated a little when I said that not much had come up on Google. As David pointed out, the Poetry Foundation Page had all the basic biographical and bibliographical details. But I was just surprised that I'd never before come across a poet of such evident competence, and I couldn't find any detailed assessment of her work. Anyway, I will certainly look out for the Handbook. And the Rilke translations.
I remain a little puzzled by Penguin's decision to publish this version as a tie-in without offering any explanatory details. And by the way, did anybody see the film? Was it any good?
