Description

Graves described poetry as his ruling passion, and for him love was ‘the main theme and origin of true poems’. He created a rich mythology where love, fear, fantasy and the supernatural play an essential role. Intimate yet universal, passionate yet precise, their brilliant alchemy of realism and magic made Graves’s poems some of the finest of the last century. In this edition the poems appear without critical apparatus or commentary. The volume represents in its purest form the achievement of Graves’s seventy productive years.
