Review
"'Sitwell's poetry has come in and out of fashion, but in the early 21st century it seems peculiarly relevant' The Times"
--This text refers to the
Paperback
edition.
From the Publisher
Always witty and flamboyant, poet, critic, and biographer Dame Edith Sitwell was a champion of literary modernity. As a younger poet she challenged formal conventions with her own verses, such as the satirical romp Façade (1922). Later, her poetry sternly turned to class issues before she fell from fashion in the 1930s. After the Second World War, Sitwell enjoyed renewed public acclaim until her death in 1964. Her works include Clowns' Houses (1918), Gold Coast Customs (1929), The Song of the Cold (1948), Gardeners and Astronomers (1953), and The Outcasts (1962).

This review is from: Edith Sitwell: Collected Poems (Hardcover)
Amazing... beautiful. The type of flowing, perfect, and elusive poetry that resonates through your being, enriching and awakening you. I lucked into this book somewhat randomly; I will just say that Edith Sitwell is a poet and an intellect of a very high order.
