Description

A haunting and finely crafted collection of poetry, this volume explores the mysteries of memory, imagination, dreams, nature, and the unseen forces that shape human experience. Walter De la Mare’s poems move between the familiar and the uncanny, finding wonder and unease in childhood visions, solitary encounters, and the changing natural world. Written in his characteristically musical, atmospheric style, the collection invites readers to linger over ambiguity rather than resolve every question. Its quiet strangeness and lyrical beauty make it a compelling example of De la Mare’s distinctive contribution to twentieth-century English literature.
