Cobbett’s Field

Cobbett’s Field by John Vetterlein is a poetry collection published by AuthorHouse in 2007, featuring 104 pages in English. This edition marks a significant revision from its initial private circulation in 1997, incorporating changes that reflect the author’s evolving perspective on the presentation of his work. Notably, five poems have been omitted as they are now included in Rückblick II, while ten new poems have been added to enrich the collection.
Readers will find a diverse array of poems, including themes related to war, alongside some works that also appear in Vetterlein’s earlier collection, War (2007). The arrangement of the poems has been thoughtfully adjusted, providing a fresh experience for both new and returning readers. This edition offers insights into the author’s reflections on poetry and the nature of creativity, making it a noteworthy addition to the exploration of European poetry, particularly within the English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh traditions.
Official synopsis Publisher
Explanation Cobbett’s Field was first published for private circulation in 1997. Since then it has been through four revisions. With the present edition (for general sale) five poems have been omitted since they are now available in Rückblick II. However, there is some duplication in the case of four poems which also appear in War (2007). Moreover, a handful of poems with a war theme appear here that are not included in War. Ten poems have been added to the original content. There has also been some readjustment to the order of presentation. August 2007 Introduction to the First Edition Reading poetry simply reinforces for me what fickle creatures we are. I have had my way with the presentation as with the words themselves. It has all been carefully thought through (that much is to be hoped for at least). There is no saying, however, that I won’t have a different mind of the matter tomorrow. I had wanted this selection to be representative, but then nothing can be that without exposing the entire corpus – an unthinkable act. August 1997
