D.H. Lawrence Poems Selected For Young People, edited and introduced by William Cole with Drawing by Ellen Raskin.

 

To my poetry collection, I've added a book, titled, D.H. Lawrence Poems Selected For Young People, edited and introduced by William Cole with Drawing by Ellen Raskin. 

D.H Lawrence is best known for his books Lady Chatterley's Lover, Sons and Lovers, Women in Love, and The Rainbow but he also wrote almost 800 poems. 

I've re-read D.H. Lawrence's poems and find I still appreciate his direct and free-flowing writing and his use of symbolism. 

In this collection, among my favorites, are The Mosquito and Bare Fig-Trees. The black and white drawings by Raskin are enjoyable too.
