This collection covers his major poetic works, including the narrative poems, sonnets and elegiac poems, illuminating the lyricism and serenity of Arnold’s best poetry. • Delivered with verve and passion, Jonathan Keeble’s reading is suffused with an energy found in Arnold’s most moving poetry. • Other poems include Desire, Longing, A Summer Night, Consolation, Philomela, A Dream, East London, West London, Thyrsis, Immortality, Growing Old, A Wish, Bacchanalia; Or, The New Age, A Modern Sappho, The Hayswater Boat, The River, Human Life, The Buried Life, Austerity of Poetry, A Farewell, Requiescat.
