{"product_id":"9781582431352","title":"Collected Poems","description":"Since her first collection of poems published in 1943, Kathleen Raine has been writing a kind of mystical nature poetry all her own, a poetry immersed in the quiet air of solitude and imagination. Vita Sackville-West, writing in the \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e, spoke of her \"curious Purity\": \"Her poems are like drops of water, clear, self-contained, and sometimes iridescent with the elusive colors of mysticism.\" \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is the lifework of a visionary, a celebration of the miracles of nature and man's place among them. Now in her ninety-second year she has chosen this work from eleven published collections and from other uncollected and unpublished sources. The earliest poems were written in the mid-thirties, the latest in the late nineties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKathleen Raine is both poet and scholar.
