by Aldous Huxley

Overview

These are a really interesting set of poems. Definitely an author one should own all of his works. Such an interesting person. For those of us who have been enamoured by Aldous' later writing, it's quite interesting to come back to the very beginning and do Aldous chronologically. (Goodreads)
