Poems 1926-1966

Résumé du livre

"Despite the high esteem which Ruth Pitter has undoubtedly earned, for several years only a regrettably small number of her poems have been in print. This volume is therefore assured of a welcome since it contains all her poetry which she wishes to preserve, including what she refers to as her 'profane' poems from A Mad Lady's Garland (1934), The Rude Potato (1941) and RUth Pitter on Cats (1947). As Lord David Cecil has said, Ruth Pitter 'combines an exquisite sensibility to the natural world with a power of intense spiritual vision. Her poetry is harmonious, consoling, fastidiously beautiful, and perfectly easy to understand'"--
