Among the Rice Fields

Among the Rice Fields is a collection of poems by Laurence Hope, the pseudonym of English poet Violet Nicolson, published in 1901. The poems draw on imagery and symbols from the North-West Frontier of India and Persian Sufi poets, exploring themes of unrequited love, loss, and the emotional turmoil surrounding these experiences. Hope was a prominent figure in the Edwardian era, and her work often carries an autobiographical tone, reflecting personal struggles and confessions.
