Greenlaw, Lavinia (1962– ), poet, born in London. Her first collection, Night Photograph (1993), contains many poems on scientific subjects and reveals a combination of measured, precise tone with an undiminished sense of wonder. Her second collection, A World Where News Travelled Slowly (1997), refines the taut, controlled style for which she is noted and returns often to the themes of communication in societal and personal contexts, love and travel. Her first novel, Mary George of Allnorthover, was published in 2001.
