Collected Poems 1931 1974 by lawrence-durrell

A sweeping anthology of verse written over four decades, this collection traces a restless, cosmopolitan voice that moves through Mediterranean landscapes, colonial India and wartime Europe to probe love, exile, memory and the nature of artistic creation; the poems range from spare, lyrical meditations to richly allusive, myth-inflected sequences, mixing sensual imagery, classical reference and philosophical reflection to explore identity, time and the ache of longing.
