The fourth title published as part of the "Robert Graves Programme". This text is the first of a three-volume collection of Graves's poems. It restores hundreds of poems that Graves omitted from the canon or overlooked in his continual refinements. It may lead to a revaluation of his entire poetic oeuvre. Other titles in the series are "The Centenary Selected Poems", edited by Patrick Quinn and "Collected Writings on Poetry", edited by Paul O'Prey.

About the Author
Robert Graves was born in 1895 in Wimbledon. He published many historical novels and translations as well as his autobiography, but his principal calling was poetry. He died in 1985 in Majorca. The Times wrote of him 'He will be remembered for his achievements as a prose stylist, historical novelist and memoirist, but above all as the great paradigm of the dedictated poet, "the greatest love poet in English since Donne".'
