As Vernon Scannell points out in his introduction, the poetry and
prose of Edward Thomas (1878-1917) has always attracted an admiring
and devoted readership, especially among other poets, who have
valued it for its great originality and beauty. In this anthology
of poems for and about Edward Thomas, Anne Harvey has compiled a
fascinating testimony of the influence Thomas has had both on his
contemporaries and on subsequent generations of poets. Among the
elegies and tributes of his contemporaries are poems by Robert
Frost, Walter de la Mare, Eleanor Farjeon, W. H. Davies, Wilfrid
Gibson and Ivor Gurney; a younger generation is represented by Alun
Lewis, Norman Nicholson and Geoffrey Grigson; and then to give an
impression of the enduring importance of Thomas there are poems by
distinguished writers of the present time, including Derek Walcott,
Elizabeth Jennings, Dannie Abse, P.J. Kavanagh, Peter Porter, Alan
Brownjohn, Gavin Ewart, Leslie Norris, Elizabeth Bartlett, Michael
Longley, Jeremy Hooker and Andrew Motion.
