H. Lawrence, and Selected Poems presents the very finest distillation of his poetic genius. This collection chronicles Lawrence's lifelong fascination with the natural world, human desire, and the tension between civilization and instinct, drawing from the full arc of his career — from the tender early verse of his Nottinghamshire roots to the bold, free-verse meditations of his later wandering years across Italy, Australia, and New Mexico.\n\nLawrence's poetry stands apart from his contemporaries through its insistent physicality and refusal of abstraction; where others sought beauty in form and meter, he sought truth in the pulse of living things — birds, beasts, flowers, and the smoldering undercurrents of human passion. Selected Poems illustrates the full breadth of a writer who argued, through verse, that modernity had severed mankind from its deepest, most vital self. For readers who know Lawrence only through Sons and Lovers or Women in Love, this collection opens a startling new dimension — one that may prove to be his most honest and enduring work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948308599003,"sku":"2026100012537-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d590d881-4624-4848-bf0d-2d07556d93d5.png?v=1793104399","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012537-secondhand-selected-poems","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
