Description

A vivid tapestry of early‑twentieth‑century verse, this collection gathers a dozen poems that linger between tenderness and turbulence. The language is lush and rhythmic, often drawing on striking natural images—pomegranates, sunrise, rolling countryside—to frame intimate moments. Its tone shifts from whispered reverence to a more daring, almost confrontational edge, inviting listeners to feel the pulse of each line.

Among the standout pieces, a wedding‑day poem unspools a speaker’s fierce longing to possess and understand her partner, while a brief encounter on a train captures the electric rush of a fleeting kiss against a backdrop of passing fields. A darker work weaves together flora, fauna, and unsettling power dynamics, hinting at the thin line between love and cruelty. Together, the poems create an atmospheric journey that balances sensuality, reflection, and the occasional unsettling surprise, making the collection a compelling listen for anyone drawn to poetry that both comforts and challenges.

About the author

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

1885–1930

A fierce, original voice of English modernism, this writer turned working-class life, love, desire, and inner conflict into novels that still feel alive today. Best known for Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover, he wrote with unusual intensity about the pull between instinct and modern life.
