Written by Thomas Hardy
Read by Martin Jarvis
The poems in this collection display Hardy's characteristic interplay between life and fate. Sometimes bleak, sometimes darkly humorous, sometimes painfully personal, each poem pits the intensity of human existence – our loves, our hatreds, our desires, our disappointments – against the indifference of the natural world. Whether set on the battlefield or the cornfield, Hardy's poems are suffused by an unsentimental melancholy and a quiet hope.
