Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems, First Series
The title of this book was chosen for this reason. Had the volume been called and Other Poems it might have given a false impression that its contents were entirely new. Had it been called Collected Poems the equally false im pression might have been given that there was something of finality about it. The title selected seemed best to convey both the fact that it was a collection and that, under Provi dence other (and, let us hope superior) collections will follow it.
The book contains all that I do not wish to destroy of the contents of four volumes of verse. A number of small cor rections have been made. There are added, also, a few recent poems not previously published. The earliest of the poems now printed is dated 1905, in which year I was twenty-one. Some of the subsequent years, such as 1914 and 1915, con tributed nothing to this book: the greater number of the poems were written in 1911 - 1912 and 1916 - 1917.
Some of the poems were not written as I should now write them; and many of them reflect transient, though mostly recurrent, moods which I do not necessarily think worthy of esteem.

Poems, First Series (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a complete collection of the author's poems, displaying the breadth of their vision and the scope of their imagination. Sticking to no one rigid form, the author exhibits a mastery of both traditional and free verse structures, thereby delivering a variety of pieces that encompass everything from sonnets to free-form experimental works. Many of the poems in this volume are autobiographical, reflecting on the author's own experiences. Others are concerned with larger themes such as love, loss, and the search for meaning in a complex and often bewildering world. Whatever their subject matter, the author's poems are uniformly characterized by their intelligence, their emotional depth, and their exquisite craftsmanship. Standing with one foot in the Romantic tradition and another in the Modernist movement, the author gives a unique perspective on life and art in the early 20th century. Their work is a testament to the enduring power of poetry to capture the full range of human emotion and experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330389836_0
