FortyTwo Poems James Elroy Flecker 9781519130235 Books

Those five stars do not mean Flecker as a turn-of the-century poet comparable to Yeats or D.H. Lawrence or A.E. Housman or - well, you get my point: Flecker is not equal to these Modernist Masters. By five stars I mean he fulfilled his poetic mission with variety and sincerity. Compared to acknowledged 20th master poets Flecker falls short in sheer talent. But his visionary spirit runs through these forty-two poems and animates them
for those who appreciate, say, the music of Frederick Delius. In fact, Delius wrote the beautiful score for Flecker's Arabian Nights HASSAN, a worthy effort in Orientalism. For years when I taught in a Humanities program I quoted Flecker, although I knew nothing about him: THE POET'S BUSINESS IS NOT TO SAVE THE SOUL OF MAN BUT TO MAKE IT WORTH SAVING. In the best of these poems he does just that. Through character sketches, travels, reflections, his poems embody these values of soul and spiritual renewal. In a poem addressed to a poet in the next millennium he writes: SINCE I CAN NEVER SEE YOUR FACE . . . I SEND MY SOUL THROUGH TIME AND SPACE TO GREET YOU. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. That indicates the largeness of Flecker's soul and the degree of his poetic faith. It is simply rewarding to be in the presence of such
a man and artist. I don't want to over-sell Flecker, but I find that his forty-two poems speak to me with the eloquence of a dedicated poet who was also a man of truth and goodness.

FortyTwo Poems James Elroy Flecker 9781519130235 Books Reviews

At such young an age his thoughts are practical simple and just down to earth
Very imaginative.
Does not hide behind philosophy.
The formatting of the poems is distinctly better than the version of Flecker's collected poems I have reviewed elsewhere ("The Collected Poems of James Elroy Flecker"), but it is obviously not as comprehensive. Unfortunately, in particular, it does not contain his best-known poem ("Yasmin").
