Synopsis
Geoffrey Grigson was arguably the century's greatest poetry anthologist - a man whose breadth of reading was equalled only by his infallible taste. To every anthology, Grigson brought his habitual enthusiasm and his flair for the recondite. The Faber Book of Love Poems is no exception - a task undertaken con amore by a well-furnished mind and an experienced heart.

13 x 20.5cm. 407 pages. Original clothbound hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Excellent condition, other than mild foxing to edges. This is a rich and unusual collection of love poems. Apart from the recognised masters of the form, it includes works by lesser known poets who have been raised by a single experience of love to a new level of exceptional lyricism. There are poems about being in love - about the wonder and the longing, the misery of separation, the pain of rejection - and poems in praise of love. Poets in love across the centuries - from Petrarch, Charles d'Orleans and Wyatt to John Clare, Christina Rossetti and Thomas Hardy; from Sydney, Donne and Herrick to Robert Graves, Adrian Mitchell and Geoffrey Grigson himself. And songs by anonymous lovers, and love seen by the French - Ronsard, Baudelaire, Verlaine. [From jacket notes] Sprache: english. Seller Inventory # 91200AB
