Nets To Catch The Wind

Nets to Catch the Wind

by Elinor Wylie

“Nets to Catch the Wind” is Elinor Wylie’s debut collection of poetry, published in 1921. It showcases her signature style – lyrical, evocative, and often tinged with melancholy. Wylie explores themes of love, loss, the passage of time, and the complexities of human relationships. Her work is characterized by intricate wordplay, vivid imagery, and a keen observation of the world around her. The poems within this collection touch on various experiences, from the ephemeral nature of beauty to the enduring power of memory. The book's title itself alludes to the fleeting nature of life and the difficulty of capturing its essence.
