Collected Poems of Lord Alfred Douglas

by Lord Alfred Douglas

Lord Alfred Douglas's "Collected Poems" is a comprehensive anthology of his work, meticulously compiled by the author himself in his later years. It showcases the evolution of his poetic voice, encompassing a wide range of themes from the profound depths of love and loss to the intricacies of the human experience. While it avoids his earlier works exploring themes of same-sex love, it offers a glimpse into his introspective reflections on life, death, nature, and the art of poetry itself. The collection predominantly features sonnets, demonstrating Douglas's mastery of this classical form and his ability to craft poignant and evocative verse.
