The selected poems and prose writings of Edward Thomas, with a Foreword from Robert Macfarlane, author of The Old Waysbr>br>''I have come to the borders of sleep, br>The unfathomable deepbr>Forest where all must losebr>Their way, however straight,br>Or winding, soon or late;br>They cannot choose.''br>br>Fired by his abiding love of the English landscape, the poetry of Edward Thomas is some of the most astonishing of the twentieth century. A journalist, essayist and critic for many years, he was encouraged to write verse by his friend Robert Frost. He produced a late outburst of poetry of extraordinary beauty and mystery about the subjects closest to his heart: rural England and its inhabitants, landscape, atmosphere, transience, endurance and death.
