Collected Poems 1931-74

Read Collected Poems 1931-74 Storyline:

I have arranged these poems, not according to chronology but in what I hope is the most easily readable form. Nothing has been included from the two earliest pamphlets. I date my poetic appearance from the publication of "A Private Country" in 1943.
Poems from the following volumes have been included: "Poems" edited by Oswell Blakeston (Fortune Press, 1938); "A Private Country" (Faber and Faber, 1943); "Cities, Plains and People" (Faber and Faber, 1946); "On Seeming to Presume" (Faber and Faber, 1948); "Sappho: a play in verse" (Faber and Faber, 1950); "The Tree of Idleness" (Faber and Faber, 1955); and "Private Drafts" (privately printed in Nicosia, Cyprus, 1955).
