    About this ebook

    DH Lawrence – An Introduction. For many of us DH Lawrence was a schoolboy hero. Who can forget sniggering in class at the mention of Women In Love or Lady Chatterley’s Lover? Lawrence was a talented if nomadic writer whose novels were passionately received, suppressed at times and generally at odds with Establishment values. This of course did not deter him. At his death in 1930 at the young age of 44 he was more often thought of as a pornographer but in the ensuing years he has come to be more rightly regarded as one of the most imaginative writers these shores have produced. As well as his novels and plays he was also a masterful poet and wrote over 800 of them. In this collection we discover and nourish ourselves on a small part of that legacy that reveals much about the man and his views on life. Many of those poems are also available on our audiobook verson at iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores.

      DH Lawrence, The Poetry Of - DH Lawrence

      DH Lawrence, The Poetry

      Poetry is a fascinating use of language.  With almost a million words at its command it is not surprising that these Isles have produced some of the most beautiful, moving and descriptive verse through the centuries.  In this series we look at individual poets who have shaped and influenced their craft and cement their place in our heritage.

      For many of us DH Lawrence  was a schoolboy hero. Who can forget sniggering in class at the mention of Women In Love or Lady Chatterley’s Lover?   Lawrence was a talented if nomadic writer whose novels were passionately received, suppressed at times and generally at odds with Establishment values.  This of course did not deter him.   At his death in 1930 at the young age of 44 he was more often thought of as a pornographer but in the ensuing years he has come to be more rightly regarded as one of the most imaginative writers these shores have produced.  As well as his novels and plays he was also a masterful poet and wrote over 800 of them.  In this collection we discover and nourish ourselves on a small part of that legacy that reveals much about the man and his views on life. 

      Many of the poems are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Portable Poetry.  Many samples are at our youtube channel   http://www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee   The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores.  Among our readers are Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe

      Letter from Town: On a Grey Morning in March

      The clouds are pushing in grey reluctance slowly northward to you,

      While north of them all, at the farthest ends, stands one

      bright-bosomed, aglance with fire as it guards the wild north cloud-coasts, red-fire

      seas running through the rocks where ravens flying to windward melt as a well-shot lance.

      You should be out by the orchard, where violets secretly darken the earth,

      Or there in the woods of the twilight, with northern wind-flowers shaken astir.

      Think of me here in the library, trying and trying a song that is worth

      Tears and swords to my heart, arrows no armour will turn or deter.

      You tell me the lambs have come, they lie like daisies white in the grass

      Of the dark-green hills; new calves in shed; peewits turn after the plough -

      It is well for you. For me the navvies work in the road where I pass

      And I want to smite in anger the barren rock of each waterless brow.

      Like the sough of a wind that is caught up high in the mesh of the budding trees,

      A sudden car goes sweeping past, and I strain my soul to hear

      The voice of the furtive triumphant engine as it
