The Complete Poems

by Robert Graves

Published 23 November 1995
The fourth title published as part of the "Robert Graves Programme". This text is the first of a three-volume collection of Graves's poems. It restores hundreds of poems that Graves omitted from the canon or overlooked in his continual refinements. It may lead to a revaluation of his entire poetic oeuvre. Other titles in the series are "The Centenary Selected Poems", edited by Patrick Quinn and "Collected Writings on Poetry", edited by Paul O'Prey.

Graves's poems have been re-edited in this volume as part of the Robert Graves Programme. These 151 poems allow Graves to speak with his original voice. By including the historical context, this book allows readers to follow the poet's progress from schoolboy to mature writer.
