an editor makes--I'm sorry there's no room here for two of my own favourites, "Sowing" and "Women he liked"--and it's not clear why [Matthew] Hollis follows a different order from that of the two volumes, Poems and Last Poems, that [Edward] Thomas didn't live to see printed. But these are quibbles. For those who don't know Thomas, this is an excellent introduction to the work of arguably the most influential English poet of the 20th century; and for those who already love him, the perspectives cast by the prose pieces are invaluable.
