Excerpt from Before Dawn: Poems and Impressions Two Visions Two visions came to me. At drear midnight, When first I laid my weary head adown, The chamber filled with chasms on my sight, And the wide darkness gathered in a frown; And I, who had dreamed wonders through the long Sweet daylight of that last enduring crown Humanity, the subtle and the strong, Should wear as in fulfilment on his brow. Was haunted by the phantoms that belong To deepest living Hell. From high to low The sultry room was gradually filled As with vague matter, that began to flow Into some form, irresolutely willed, And palpitating while it gathered shape, Floated, then sank and groaned; rose, chattered and trilled; Broke in stark faces, mouths and eyes agape; Then shrank again and indolently slept; Then sprang with guttural noises of the ape; Then drifted, formless, out of sight and wept: True to no cause, yet swift in all deceit, When slumber almost held me, slowly crept About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Troubled by his complex sexuality, Monro was a tormented soul whose aim was to serve the cause of poetry. Hibberd's revealing and beautifully-written biography will help rescue Monro from the graveyard of literary history and claim for him the recognition he deserves. Poet and businessman, ascetic and alcoholic, socialist and reluctant soldier, twice-married yet homosexual, Harold Monro probably did more than anyone for poetry and poets in the period before and after the Great War, and yet his reward has been near oblivion. Aiming to encourage the poets of the future, he befriended, among many others, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and the Imagists; Rupert Brooke and the Georgians; Marinetti the Futurist; Wilfred Owen and other war poets; and the noted women poets, Charlotte Mew and Amma Wickham.

Edward Thomas can be seen as the most important poetry critic in the early twentieth century. Thomas was a prose-writer before he was a poet. The Selected Edition of his prose, and especially this volume, shows that he was also a critic before he was a poet. His unusual literary career opens up key questions about the relation between poetry and criticism, as well as between poetry and prose. Thomas wrote books about poetry, but his criticism mainly took the form of reviews. He reviewed collections, editions, and studies of poetry, most regularly, for the Daily Chronicle and the Morning Post. These reviews amount to a unique commentary on the state of poetry and of poetry criticism after 1900. Since reviewing provided Thomas's main income, he also reviewed other kinds of book. Hence the sheer mass of his reviews, the stress he suffered as a literary journalist. Yet his criticism maintains an astonishingly high standard. Thomas's response to contemporary poetry intersects with his readings of older poetry. No critic or poet of the time was so deeply acquainted with the traditions of English-language poetry or so alert to new poetic movements in Ireland and America. Edward Thomas's writings on poetry have a double importance. Besides suggesting the hidden evolution of his own aesthetic, they constitute a lost history and critique of poetry before the Great War. They change our assumptions about that period. Thomas's perspectives on poets such as Yeats, Hardy, Frost, Lawrence, and Pound illuminate the making of modern poetry.
