This first complete edition of Katherine Mansfield's poetry This
edition is made up of 217 poems, ordered chronologically, so that
the reader can follow Mansfield's development as a poet and her
experiments with different forms as well as trace the themes such
as love and death, the natural world and the seasons, childhood and
friendship, music and song which preoccupied her throughout her
writing life. The comprehensive annotations provide illuminating
biographical information as well as explaining the rich contexts of
the European poetic tradition, including fin de siecle decadence,
within which her artistry is steeped. The inclusion of a collection
of newly-discovered poems, dating from 1909-10, highlights
Mansfield's desire to be taken seriously as a poet from her
earliest beginnings as a writer. The poems as a whole point to a
poet who varied her craft as she perfected it, often witty and
ironic yet always enchanted by the sound of words.
