4.0 out of 5 stars
Entitled to his opinion, certainly.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Poems and the Book of Five Makings (Fyfield Books) (Paperback)
Since Ivor Gurney made these precedent songs in considerable isolation, not so much free of contemporary influence as deprived of it, it's a wonder he created such images. Not the easiest book for a person encountering his work for the first time - go to '80 Poems or So' or the Everyman edition for more accessible work. But even the most tortuous verses are rewarding, and such poems as 'Sailor', 'The Room of Two Candles', 'Birds', 'The Unfamiliar Camp', and 'Talking Under the Stars' cannot fail to move the reader. This book got 4 stars instead of 5 only because it is not as approachable to a reader less familiar with Gurney. For those that know his work, 'Best Poems' IS a must to own, and extremely fascinating.
