This is the classic poetry of Edith Sitwell, bringing together poems from almost all of her major editions of poetry, including "Street Songs", "Green Song", "The Song of the Cold" and "The Canticle of the Rose". Now, it is available in paperback. This edition of Sitwell's "Collected Poems" is a testimony to the breadth and insight of her poetic output and includes her own Preface which is highly acclaimed as an analysis of the development of her mind and sensibilities, an explanation of her use of rhythms and intricate verbal patterns, and hence of her poetry itself.
