Reseña: The selected poems and prose writings of Edward Thomas with a Foreword from Robert Macfarlane author of The Old Ways I have come to the borders of sleep The unfathomable deep Forest where all must lose Their way however straight Or winding soon or late They cannot choose. Fired by his abiding love of the English landscape the poetry of Edward Thomas is some of the most astonishing of the twentieth century. 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 Englands most valued poets. This selection brings together his finest verse with his most vivid prose writings on the countryside.
