Description

Malcolm Lowry's Selected Poems offers a comprehensive introduction to his extensive poetic canon. First published in 1962 and now reissued, this collection showcases the poet's unique voice and style.

Edited by Lowry's friend Earle Birney with the assistance of his widow Margerie Lowry, the selection includes poems written during Lowry's stay in Mexico, many of which are closely related to his celebrated novel Under the Volcano. This new edition features a "Publisher's Note" from Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

Lowry's poetry is marked by struggle and self-knowledge, exploring themes of guilt, alcoholism, hopelessness, and the search for salvation. His words are often sad and beautiful, offering a profound insight into the human experience.
