About this audiobook
The Complete Poetical Works of D. H. Lawrence gathers the full range of Lawrence's verse, from early Georgian-inflected lyrics to the bold, unrhymed, exploratory poems of Birds, Beasts and Flowers and the late meditations of Pansies and Last Poems. Restless, sensuous, and often prophetic, these poems reject decorative prettiness in favor of immediacy: living bodies, animal presences, sexual candor, spiritual conflict, and the modern self in revolt against mechanized civilization. David Herbert Lawrence (1885–1930), born in the Nottinghamshire coalfields, brought to poetry the tensions that shaped his fiction: class mobility, fraught family life, illness, exile, erotic intensity, and a fierce suspicion of industrial modernity. His travels through Italy, Australia, Mexico, and the American Southwest widened his symbolic geography, while his lifelong quarrel with convention led him to seek a language closer to instinct, blood, and elemental perception. This collection is indispensable for readers who know Lawrence chiefly as a novelist, for it reveals the lyric and philosophical core of his imagination. It will reward students of modernism, admirers of visionary nature poetry, and anyone interested in a writer who made poetry a charged encounter between body, world, and spirit.
