Elisabeth Franￃﾧoise Eybers' poetry was mainly in Afrikaans, although she has translated some of her own work (and those of others) into English.Eybers grew up in the town of Schweizer-Reneke, where her father was a Dutch Reformed minister. After completing her high school studies there at the age of 16, she enrolled at the University of the Witwatersrand for a Bachelor of Arts degree, which she achieved cum laude.After her graduation she became a journalist. In 1937 Eybers married the businessman Albert Wessels, with whom she had three daughters and a son. Counted among the so-called Dertigers, she became the first Afrikaans woman to win the Hertzog Prize for poetry in 1943. She won the prize again in 1971.Her work has received many other awards in both South Africa and the Netherlands, including the Constantijn Huygens prize in 1978 and the P. C. Hooft Award in 1991.Translations of her poems have also been published in German, French, Italian and Hebrew.The South African composer Cromwell Everson composed a song using Eybers' poem 'Die Vreemde Dae'.From her divorce in 1961 until her death, she lived in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
