Like his fiction, D.H. Lawrence's poetry is infused with the same bold, experimental spirit that anitmated the work of his greatest contemporaries while at the same time being profoundly idiosyncratic-it rings out in an inimitable voice and bears the impress of a unique sensibility. The verses collected in Bird, Beasts, and Flowers are lent a sharpness and depth by Lawrence's thinking on religious and political subjects, but they are first and foremost a remarkable exploration of the natural world and what it means to live within and alongside it. Characterised throughout by their author's frankness, pugnacity, and unmembarrassed sensuality, they also make unmistakably apparent the technical mastery that continues to make Lawrence a poet to be reckoned with.
