Product Description
Product Description
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, in a form he himself sanctioned, his Collected Poems of 1928, the unexpurgated version of Pansies, and Nettles, adding to these volumes the contents of the two notebooks in which he was still writing poetry when he died in 1930. It therefore allows the reader to trace the development of Lawrence as a poet and appreciate the remarkable originality and distinctiveness of his achievement. Not all the poems reprinted here are masterpieces but there is more than enough quality to confirm Lawrence's status as one of the greatest English writers of the twentieth century.

I bought this book after finding a copy of it on a shelf in school, I picked it up during French one Tuesday afternoon and really enjoyed it, I love all his poems about the roses, nature and just love in general, the poems are all so similar in some respects but completely diverse in others. My favourites have to include River Roses and Green as well as Moral Clothing. This is a definitive collection and one to be a part of anybody's collection.
I loathed French in school and thankfully, D H Lawrence helped me to survive.

Catching up after a long time with DHL in a familiar environment and locality is great reading. Getting used to Kindle is great for travel and easy access.

First, I am reviewing the paperback edition that contains approximately 800 of Lawrence's poems. This seems like a complete collection to me, so I can only assume that the kindle version that reviewers complain about is at fault. (I could make a strong case that any kindle version sells you short because you do not get a physical book that you can enjoy handling, smelling, owning, etc. but maybe another time!)
This edition is amazingly cheap for a book that is 660 pages long, but the print and binding quality are excellent. So don't be put off by the other reviews or the price. And then of course there are the poems. Some outrageously bad, but at their best they are wonderful. If you want to start at the top go straight to "Snake" on p282.

Where are the poems?
The two-star rating is no reflection of Lawrence's work, which I love. Rather it's my disappointment at buying 'The Works' and finding none of his poetry included. Read more

Good to have the whole poetry of DHL between two covers. I would have liked full dating of all of the poems. Read more

Disappointing. This is not a review of DHL's work but of the product. This is not what I had thought it to be having read the two previous reviews. Read more

A real treat even for those who are not fan of D.H.Lawrence.
Having read D.H.Lawrence novels in my youth, didn't think there was anymore to discover about his work until a friend recently introduced me to 'The Snake'. Read more
