Summary

"Birds, Beasts and Flowers" by D. H. Lawrence is a collection of early 20th-century poems that capture the beauty and intricacy of the natural world while pondering nature, being, and the bonds that link all things. It examines the relationships between people and animals using striking imagery and metaphors. The compilation starts with poems that explore the depth and sensuality of many fruits, such as pomegranates and peaches. The speaker considers their own history with the fruits, and how they relate to love, corruption, and being. Each poem is filled with both a personal and common understanding of the value and fragility of the natural world, which creates a rich mix of feelings.

About the Author

David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialization, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Four of his most famous novels β€” Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928)β€” were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality and use of explicit language.
