The prose is the man, but the poetry also says something

It is the novels of Lawrence which give him his place in the canon of twentieth- century English Literature. But his poetry is also true literature, and echoes through it many themes of the prose. Lawrence's lines are sinewy and often striking in their sudden shifts of color and tone, but I personally have never found them to demand to be remembered as much great poetry does. In a way it seems to me they are ' prose-like' in that their ' feel' is one of ' going-on-ness'. Perceptions of nature, and struggles with the demons of life are the fire of much of this poetry. For students and great fans of Lawrence the poems are invaluable.
