The Earliest English Poems by Michael Alexander

5.0

These poems are very short and for the most part quite easy to read. Most of them are melancholy meditations on loss, revealing a time and place where life was short and painful and people had a deep appreciation for the simplest things. These poems express a very personal view of a people's intense love of home and hearth, and their profound need to belong.
