About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Philip Edward Thomas was an Anglo-Welsh writer of prose and poetry. He is commonly considered a war poet, although few of his poems deal directly with his war experiences. Already an accomplished writer, Thomas turned to poetry only in 1914. He enlisted in the army in 1915, and was killed in action during the Battle of Arras in 1917, soon after he arrived in France.

Reviews

[Michael Arnold · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some good stuff here. Shame he died when he was just coming into his stride.

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some beautiful nature poetry. Thomas should be more widely read simply for the nature verse.

[Molly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Assigned reading: most was pretty dull tbh but Thomas creates beautiful imagery using nature to express depression etc. My personal fave was 'Lights Out' which depicts unconscious with a vast mystical forest, which is the ultimate destination of 'many a road or track'.
