Abstract

Two English Poets
van Doren, Mark | January 15, 1930 issue

The article critically appraises several books. "Collected Poems 1914-1926," and "Poems: 1929," by Robert Graves; "Collected Poems," by D.H. Lawrence, Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith; "Pansies. Poems," by D.H. Lawrence. Neither Graves nor Lawrence has gained very much by collecting his poems. Both, indeed, may have lost, for at least one reader has decided, after going through a great deal here which disappointed him, that they were not quite the poets he had thought they were when their separate works survived only as memories. The cold test of print is too much for a pair who previously had every right to be considered among the most interesting poets in contemporary England.
