The definitive text for Walter de la Mare's poetry contains all the poems de la Mare published in book form during his lifetime, plus all the uncollected poems that have been found and a selection of unpublished poems.



British novelist and poet, loosely connected with the literary tradition of Wordsworth and Coleridge. De la Mare's reputation as a poet was established by the volume THE LISTENERS AND OTHER POEMS (1912). Vita Sackville-West once called him a "poet of dusk". De la Mare wrote for both children and adults. His best-known novel is MEMOIRS OF A MIDGET (1921), which described sympathetically the world of the minute Miss M. or Miss Thomasina. The book won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1922.
