Description: Poems by Walter de la Mare London: John Murray 1906 First Edition Signed inscription by the author on the front free endpaper. 12mo, 127 pages, publisher's original green cloth covered boards, lettered and ornately decorated on the spine in gilt. Some slight rubbing, scratch to top board, some minor discoloration, scattered light foxing, else in very good condition. Poems (1906) by Walter de la Mare is the poet’s first published collection and a significant milestone in his literary career. This early work, released under his real name rather than his pseudonym "Walter Ramal," showcases the themes and stylistic hallmarks that would come to define his poetry—an ethereal blend of nature, imagination, and the supernatural, imbued with a lyrical and often haunting quality. The collection reflects de la Mare's talent for crafting vivid imagery and exploring profound emotional and philosophical questions through verse. While not as well-known as his later works, such as The Listeners (1912), this debut volume is valued for its insight into the beginnings of a writer whose influence would resonate throughout 20th-century English literature. Rare and collectible, Poems remains a testament to de la Mare’s early genius and creative vision. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and don't forget to check out my other listings.
