Overview

Collected Poems by M.R. James offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the poetic imagination of the master of the English ghost story.

Written with the same precision and atmosphere that define his fiction, these poems range from the reflective to the eerily suggestive, capturing moments of stillness, mystery, and subtle unease. This collection deepens our understanding of M.R. James as not only a storyteller of shadows but also a poet of thoughtful grace and haunting lyricism.
