Thomas Hardy's first love was poetry. It was not until 1898, when he was 58, that his first book of poetry,Wessex Poemswas published. For the final years of his life he abandoned fiction and devoted himself entirely to poetry; he is now not only regarded as one of the most important English novelists but is also a poet of major stature and increasing popularity.The Complete Poemsincludes Hardy's more than 900 poems, complemented by detailed notes. Collected here are his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems,Domicilium, and the songs fromThe Dynasts. This edition contains an additional poem,The Sound of Her.
