Selected PoemsKathleen Raine is internationally recognized as one of the outstanding living English poets. Her poems rest on loving observation of the natural world, embrace the world of the soul's experience, and return these to the kingdom of the ever-reborn mystery of our daily life. This is the first time a selection from the whole range of her poetic oeuvre has been published. |
