Since her first collection of poems published in 1943, Kathleen Raine has been writing a kind of mystical nature poetry all her own, a poetry immersed in the quiet air of solitude and imagination. Vita Sackville-West, writing in the Observer , spoke of her curious purity: Her poems are like drops of water, clear, self-contained, and sometimes iridescent with the elusive colors of mysticism.

The earliest poems were written in the mid-thirties, the latest in the late nineties.
