Lawrence wrote nearly 1,000 poems during a short lifetime in which he was also astonishingly prolific in other spheres–fiction, travel writing, essays, criticism, letters and plays. Lawrence was not simply a novelist who dabbled in other forms. His characteristic vision informed everything he wrote, especially his poetry.
