About this title

Synopsis

A dreamlike poetry collection that turns place, memory, and wonder into vivid, world-spanning visions.

The book gathers Rose Macaulay’s lyric pieces into a tapestry of landscapes, from Cambridge gates to misty fenlands, where language becomes a way to see the unseen. These poems blend myth, travel, spirituality, and daily moments into a sensuous, meditative experience that invites reflection rather than plot.

• Experience imagery that shifts between dawn, dream, and street life.
• Follow journeys across towns, rivers, and open spaces that feel both intimate and epic.
• Hear a voice that asks big questions about life, faith, and the human heart.
• Enjoy compact, musical lines that reward careful reading and re-reading.

Ideal for readers of lyrical poetry who seek lush, symbolic scenes and quiet, interior awe.

About the Author

Rose Macaulay (1881-1958), born in Rugby and educated at Oxford, was created a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1958. One of the most popular satirical novelists of her day, Told by an Idiot, first published in 1923, is her panoramic tour de force, revealing, through the eyes of the extraordinary Garden family, the social, political and religious fortunes of England from the age of Victoria to the 1920s.
