For decades, she was utterly forgotten. Yet when she died, at thirty-six, she left behind three notebooks containing some of the finest lyric poems ever written in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarford's writing looks both forwards and backwards, blending Pre-Raphaelite influences and plain-speaking with unusual subtlety. At the same time, Harford was bound inextricably to the period in which she lived: war in Europe, changing attitudes to religion, the suffrage movement, and widespread social upheaval all helped make her one of the first truly modern, urban figures in Australian poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollected Poems: Lesbia Harford\u003c\/em\u003e showcases the remarkable work of this pioneering poet, offering insight into her unique perspective and profound impact on the literary landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995366965484,"sku":"9781742585352","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781742585352-collected-poems-lesbia-harford.jpg?v=1784895152","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/collected-poems-lesbia-harford-9781742585352","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
