Title D.H. Lawrence Selected Poems Author Edited by Dr Jan Todd, Oxford Student Texts Call Number PR6023.A93A6 1993 Location 2nd Floor Humanities Rating Highly Recommended Book Review Lawrence is referred to as an author and a poet in multiple historic fiction novels I have read and watched on t.v. He wrote several poems about the natural world in Birds, Beasts and Flowers including snakes, hippos, and whales but the Hummingbird is the only poem where he did not write from his own personal knowledge. He crafted a prehistoric world where this bird whizzed around jabbing stems and veins. And imagined this bird was probably once big. Ending with his relief that is now not. Poetry was once described as "just like spoken song lyrics." So, I challenge myself to embrace this creative genre.
