Selected Poems

Walter John De LA Mare

Synopsis:
This volume of Walter de la Mare's poems offers both the longtime fan and the new reader a thoughtful selection of his most poignant writing. Reminiscent of the works of Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert Frost, and very much descended from the English Romantic movement, these poems draw on natural imagery and traditional poetic forms to celebrate the beauty of nature, while simultaneously prompting the reader to reflect on the implications of mortality. Collected herein are such classics as "The Listeners" and "The Traveler" as well as a number of rhymes and verses for children.
