Birds, Beasts And Flowers (poems)

D H Lawrence wrote the poems that would be published as BIRDS, BEASTS AND FLOWERS (1923) during a stay in New Mexico. Also published in the Penguin Twentieth Century Classics volume COMPLETE POEMS, these poems are considered to be the mature achievement of Lawrence's abilities as a poet. The collection breaks from the autobiographical concerns of much of his other work and explores the 'divine otherness' of non-human life.
