Birds, Beasts and the Third Thing

This brief collection gracefully combines D. H. Lawrence's poetry with richly detailed paintings of the poet's childhood by Alice and Martin Provensen. Through Easwood, the coal mining town of Lawrence's youth, through moods ranging from solitude to joy, and through landscapes as diverse as a field and a drawing room, the art and poetry are woven into a tapestry of childhood's emotions and visions. Verse and artwork blend to make a "third thing" - a collection to be treasure by readers of all ages.
