A journalist, essayist and critic for many years, he was encouraged to write verse by his friend Robert Frost. He produced a late outburst of poetry of extraordinary beauty and mystery about the subjects closest to his heart: rural England and its inhabitants, landscape, atmosphere, transience, endurance and death. By 1917, when he was killed on the Western Front, he had earned his place as one of England''s most valued poets. This selection brings together his finest verse with his most vivid prose writings on the countryside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''The father of us all'' Ted Hughes\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Edited by David Wright\u003cbr\u003e With a Foreword by Robert Macfarlane, taken from The Old Ways","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51519689425243,"sku":"9780141393193","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/selected-poems-and-prose-1","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
