Collected Poems: Lynette Roberts - Paperback
About this item
by Lynette Roberts (Author), Patrick McGuinness (Editor)
The work of an original, haunting, and experimental modernist poet is made available again for the first time in 50 years in this volume. Lynette Roberts is principally a war poet, in that her two published collections take as their subject a woman's life in wartime. A late modernist, she works on two scales at the same time: the mythic and the domestic. As a Welsh writer, her best work stands alongside that of her near-contemporaries, David Jones, R.S. Thomas and Dylan Thomas. As a woman poet, her work bears comparison with that of both Mina Loy and Djuna Barnes.
Author Biography
Lynette Roberts published two collections of poems in her lifetime: Poems and Gods with Stainless Ears. Patrick McGuinness is translator of Mallarmé's "For Anatole's Tomb" and author of a book of poems, The Canals of Mars.
