Collected Poems of Katherine Mansfield
This is the first complete edition of Katherine Mansfields poetry, including 26 poems, dating from 190910, discovered by Gerri Kimber in the Newberry Library in Chicago in 2015. This edition is made up of 217 poems, ordered chronologically, so that the reader can follow Mansfields development as a poet and her experiments with different forms, as well as tracing the themes love and death, the natural world and the seasons, childhood and friendship, music and song that preoccupied her throughout her writing life. The comprehensive annotations provide illuminating biographical information as well as explaining the rich contexts of the European poetic tradition, including fin de siècle decadence within which Mansfields artistry is steeped. The inclusion of a collection of newly discovered poems, highlights Mansfields desire to be taken seriously as a poet from her earliest beginnings as a writer. The poems as a whole point to a poet who varied her craft as she perfected it, often witty and ironic yet always enchanted by the sound of words.
