Love poems
By D H Lawrence
Presented by Voices of Today
In 1912 D.H. Lawrence fell in love with Frieda Weekley and the couple left for Germany and Italy, where they spent the next two years. While he was away from England, Lawrence completed and published the novel Sons and Lovers and his first volume of poetry, Love Poems and others. Mostly autobiographical, the collection explores a young man's feelings on the joys and frustrations of sex and love. The thirty poems in the collection include the memorable short poem, Bei Hennef, as well as four longer narrative poems written in Lawrence's Nottinghamshire dialect.
Featuring the voices of Erin Louttit, Linda Barrans, Phil Benson and Ron Altman.
