Poetry of D.H. Lawrence, The

For many of us DH Lawrence was a schoolboy hero. Who can forget sniggering in class at the mention of Women In Love or Lady Chatterley’s Lover? Lawrence was a talented if nomadic writer whose novels were passionately received, suppressed at times and generally at odds with Establishment values. This of course did not deter him. At his death in 1930 at the young age of 44 he was more often thought of as a pornographer but in the ensuing years he has come to be more rightly regarded as one of the most imaginative writers these shores have produced. As well as his novels and plays he was also a masterful poet and wrote over 800 of them. In this collection we discover and nourish ourselves on a small part of that legacy that reveals much about the man and his views on life. Our readers include Richard Mitchley & Ghizela Rowe. 01 - DH Lawrence - An Introduction 02 - Snake 03 - Whales Weep Not! 04 - Tortoise Shout 05 - The Mosquito 06 - Afternoon In School; The Last Lesson 07 - Discord In Childhood 08 - D H Lawrence - Monologue Of A Mother 09 - Brother And Sister 10 - Piano 11 - Hyde Park At Night Before The War; Clerks 12 - Letter From Town; On A Grey Morning In March 13 - Piccadily Circus At Night; Street Walkers 14 - Bei Hennef 15 - How Beastly the Bourgeois Is 16 - Gloire De Dijon - DH Lawrence 17 - Figs 18 - Excursion 19 - Conumdrums 20 - D H Lawrence - The Virgin Mother 21 - Week Night Service 22 - The Drained Cup 23 - The Mess Of Love 24 - Rose Of All The World 25 - Discipline 26 - Dreams Old 27 - The Ship Of Death 28 - Last Words To Miriam
