Like his fiction, D. H. Lawrence’s poetry is infused with the same bold, experimental spirit that animated the work of his greatest contemporaries while at the same being profoundly idiosyncratic—it rings out in an inimitable voice and bears the impress of a unique sensibility. The verses collected in Birds, Beasts and Flowers are lent a sharpness and depth by Lawrence’s thinking on religious and political subjects, but they are first and foremost a remarkable exploration of the natural world and of what it means to live within and alongside it. Characterised throughout by their author’s frankness, pugnacity, and unembarrassed sensuality, they also make unmistakeably apparent the technical mastery that continues to make Lawrence a poet to be reckoned with.
D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) was a novelist and poet. He made an indelible mark on English fiction with The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and he also made a significant contribution to literary criticism with works such as Studies in Classic American Literature.
