Cowper's poems2023

Moving and touching, these 3 volumes display Cowper’s genuineness, directness and honesty. Overcoming periods of depression he produced some of the most astounding poetry, magnificent for the absolute variety of subjects tackled, the strong Christian element and the detailed descriptions given. Cowper infused new spirit to English Poetry, lifting it above the rhetoric and artificiality that had crept in. His genius lay in his singular gift of blending pathos and humor, love for animal life and nature. His poetry induces release and relief, as he effortlessly bridges the chasm between how the mind appreciates his poems and how the heart responds!
