Collected Poems | Louis MacNeice

Love it

Since I am an artist, I am well aware of having my mind float free, which is necessary in pure creativity. I was stunned to find this same effect upon reading his poetry. My paintings are based on the reflections of objects and people. His poem " Reflections" keys in perfectly with my feeling when I paint. It is uncanny. Also, one of his poems states "time was away"--that is exactly what happens when I paint. I step totally away from the real world, into a totally unknown and unfamilar place. I have finally found a poet that speaks to my soul!

It has nothing to do with issues of Choice, except that we want to have it after we are born.

One of the great Great Britain's poets. Beautiful edition.

A fantastic collection by a little known poet.

Very weighty book which looks splendid. Hoping it will please the recipient at Christmas.
