Lawrence's poems complete


COMPLETE POEMS BY D.M.LAWRENCE
Lawrence’s reputation as a novelist has often meant that his achievements in poetry have failed to receive the recognition they deserve. This edition brings together all of them in a form he himself has sanctioned, his collected poems of 1928 , the unexpurgated version of pansies and nettles adding to these volumes the contents of the two note books in which he was still writing poetry while he died in 1930. Hence it allows the reader to trace the development of Lawrence as a poet and appreciate the remarkable originality and distinctiveness of his achievements. There is an introduction and notes provided by David Ellis of the University of Kent and Canterbury.
