Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The vital sap Lawrence began with imitative Georgian verse filled with archaic turns and cliched tropes. But influenced by Whitman he turned to a kind of free verse, and so began his long life in creating a vital poetry. Lawrence's poetry is the expression of his most initimate feelings. The poems which are most renowed are those which express his relation to nature,"The Snake" perhaps being the most well- known of them.

The book is very complete and organized in a easy to read format. I'm really glad I bought this book. Rating: - D.H.

It is a must read for all who can read and all Special Forces. It put life on hold as you read it. The most moving is "self pity" I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

This book of poems shares the top spot in my bookcase with Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". They are accessible, highly perceptive, pertinent and intensely personal. My favorites are: "FIDELITY" - "...The wonderful slow flow of the sapphire..." "GOD IS BORN" - "...And so we see, God is not until he is born. And also we see there is no end to the birth of God." "SHIP OF DEATH" ... Read More
