Collected Poems

This is the classic poetry of Edith Sitwell, bringing together poems from almost all of her major editions of poetry, including Street Songs, Green Song, The Song of the Cold and The Canticle of the Rose. This edition of Sitwell's Collected Poems is a testimony to the breadth and insight of her poetic output and includes her own Preface which is highly acclaimed as an analysis of the development of her mind and sensibilities, an explanation of her use of rhythms and intricate verbal patterns, and hence of her poetry itself.
