Description

D.H. Lawrence's Selected Poems offers a unique perspective on the life and work of this innovative poet. Spanning his early rhyming work to his groundbreaking exploration of free verse, this volume brings together extensive selections from various editions, including some of his most famous poems. The collection includes 'Piano', a nostalgic reflection on lost youth and love for his mother; 'Snake', exploring human fear of the natural world; and 'Can't be Borne', a short, cutting commentary on sexual politics. The revised edition features poems in their original order, offering a fresh perspective on an author who gave voice to his most intense emotions. This selection is complemented by an introduction discussing Lawrence's early publication and critical reception, as well as his developments as a poet and use of free verse. A chronology, further reading, and appendices provide additional context for readers interested in exploring this important poet's work.
