 | Selected Poems by D. H. Lawrence, Keith Sagar
The poetry of D. H. Lawrence is full of vivid observations of nature and of human psychology. His subjects include specific plants and animals (snakes, fish, flowers), polemics against modern society, and the tormenting twists and turns of romantic relationships--based on his own long, passionate marriage to Frieda von Richthofen. Usually in free verse, Lawrence`s poems are intensely personal and immediate. AUTHOR: D. H. Lawrence, Keith Sagar
