Poetry Books

Box no.7

There are several poetry books of "Modern" poetry from the first part of the 20th Century, including several containing very moving War poems. You will find old favourites and many which you may not have heard of before. There is also a a book of Dante's poetry translated and small book of favourite Latin poetry. I certainly studied many Latin poems in my youth, but can't say I recognize them now : my favourite was Catullus, who was a lawyer as well as a scholar - they are not mutually exclusive you know! Some of the books are sensuously bound in soft leather, and one in tartan fabric.

Please add £2.69 for post and packing for UK, £3.50 to Europe. £5.75 worldwide or contact me for the postage cost if buying more than one item. If you are buying more than one book please ask me about a discount..
