A bold, experimental poetry collection from the Wheels series’ third cycle, weaving myth, urban mood, and wartime imagination into a striking voice.
This edition gathers voices from Edith Sitwell’s circle and contemporaries, creating a mosaic of style and image.
The verses jump between classical echoes and modernist shocks: lush, musical lines, surreal vignettes, and brisk satirical turns. Readers will encounter dreams, nocturnes, and Ovidian turns set against a wartime London and beyond, all filtered through a daring, kinetic sensibility.
- A multi-voice anthology that includes Sitwell’s own work alongside other landmark poets of the era.
- Rich, sometimes provocative imagery that blends myth, night, and performance.
- A study in contrasts: lyrical beauty, biting irony, and experimental forms.
- A snapshot of early 20th-century modernism, war-time culture, and literary daring.
Ideal for readers of early modernist poetry, imaginative fare that pushes boundaries, and anyone exploring the cross-currents of 1910s English verse.
