The Selected Poems of James Elroy Flecker

by James Elroy Flecker

Introductory Note "James Elroy Fletcher died at Devos in World War One on January 2, 1915 at the age of thirty. His Collected Poems were published in the autumn of 1916.... His permanent place among the English poets is now assured." His sensitive, very moving poem "To a Poet a Thousand Years Hence" is the first poem in this collection, and one not to be missed.

[Atticus · Rating 5 out of 5]

More clever, and more influential than I had figured prior to reading him-the man has a real way with rhyme, and, moreover, is shockingly enthralling; I haven't passed through a group of collected/selected poetry so quickly since Emily Dickinson's stunning arrangement.
