Selected Poems of Edward Thomas

I have an old R S Thomas selected poems, the Walter De La Mare Collected poems (both from the 1970s) and Edna Longley's excellent annotated edition from Bloodaxe but this new Faber edition is good as it contains a new slant on Thomas from Hollis in his introduction and a good selection of the poems, prose works and diaries. I would recommend this as well as the new biography from Hollis, based on the last years of the poet's life, to anyone interested in Edward Thomas's poetry and this particular period around the First World War in England.

Interesting product of inspiration and his times.

superb collection

This was a gift to a friend. I did not like the cover but the selection of poems was good and the friend was delighted to be introduced to a poet that not many people are familiar with.

Excellent

An Excellent book which increased my love and understanding of Edward Thomas's poetry. A great introduction by Matthew HollisI would recommend book to any one interested in Thomas work.

Excellent

I can no longer live without Edward Thomas.
