Life
Bartlett, née Elizabeth Roberta Winters, was born in New York City. She was the daughter of Lewis Winters and his wife, Charlotte Field. A gifted child, Bartlett skipped a grade in elementary school, completed high school in three years, and, also in three years, her bachelor’s degree from Teachers’ College, 1931, and subsequently carried out postgraduate study at Columbia University, 1938-40. She then began a life devoted to writing and teaching.
In 1941, she met writer and artist Paul Alexander Bartlett in Guadalajara; they were married in 1943 in Sayula, Mexico. Her husband was an accomplished artist and author of many published novels, short stories, poems, and non-fiction works relating to the Mexican haciendas. They had one child, Steven James Bartlett (b. 1945), later to become a widely published author in the fields of psychology and philosophy. For many years Elizabeth Bartlett lived in numerous areas of Mexico while she dedicated herself to poetry and her husband undertook a lifelong extensive art and photographic study of more than 350 haciendas throughout the country.

Contre jour, he said, a photographic phrase,
literally against the day, I suppose.
I'll put a little by, my mother would say,
against the day when we have nothing left.
Limp purse, well-rubbed, false teeth
not quite fitting, second-hand clothes,
knees like nutmeg graters. Whatever happened
to those gentle scented mothers sitting in gardens
under a shady hat, the maid mincing across the grass
with a tray for afternoon tea in early June?
It was never summer for her. It didn't reach
the dank back yard, the airless little rooms,
where the kitchen range brought a flush
to her face as she perpetually bent over it,

Limp purse, well-rubbed, false teeth

It was never summer for her. It didn't reach
the dank back yard, the airless little rooms,
where the kitchen range brought a flush
to her face as she perpetually bent over it,
cooking, ironing, shifting sooty kettles round.
but never posed for her husband to catch
the tilt of her head against the day,
who never owned a camera anyway.

as her life recedes. You must have known
that once she minced across the lawn
carrying a loaded tray for mothers
like yours, whose photographs have
frames of silver, like the ones
she polished every week for twelve
pounds per annum and her keep.
