Snake and Other Poems
Best known as the author of Lady Chatterley's Lover and Women In Love, D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) also wrote some of the twentieth century's finest poetry. Lawrence is noted for his use of words in a richly textured manner that produces vivid images and expresses deep emotion. This ample collection of his verse covers a wide thematic range, including love, marriage, family, class, art, and culture, all treated with extraordinary exuberance, intensity, sensitivity, and occasional humor.
These selections originally appeared in Love Poems and Others (1913), Amores (1916), Look We Have Come Through (1917), Tortoises (1921), and such periodicals as The Dial and English Review. In addition to the celebrated title poem, individual works include A Collier's Wife, Monologue of a Mother, Quite Forsaken, Wedlock, Fireflies in the Corn, New Heaven and Earth, and many others.

The prose is the man, but the poetry also says something
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
It is the novels of Lawrence which give him his place in the canon of twentieth- century English Literature. But his poetry is also true literature, and echoes through it many themes of the prose. Lawrence's lines are sinewy and often striking in their sudden shifts of color and tone, but I personally have never found them to demand to be remembered as much great poetry does. In a way it seems to me they are ' prose-like' in that their ' feel' is one of ' going-on-ness'. Perceptions of nature, and struggles with the demons of life are the fire of much of this poetry. For students and great fans of Lawrence the poems are invaluable.
