Overview

For the first time in a single volume, Bergamot Books will soon release, Ship of Death: Last Poems. These are the final 67 poems D. H. Lawrence wrote in the weeks before his death in 1930, with a new Foreword by award-winning biographer Frances Wilson. Lawrence spent his last days writing with urgency and clarity, producing work that confronts mortality while celebrating the natural world with his signature intensity. Written from his sickbed on the Côte d'Azur, these poems include meditations on earth, sky, and the cosmos. Wilson's Foreword situates these pieces within Lawrence's restless final years, offering insight into the force behind his last creative burst. This edition invites both long-term admirers and new readers to rediscover Lawrence through the lens of his final, deeply human work written as a mystic not modernist.

Author Information

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English novelist, poet, and essayist whose works-including the once-banned Lady Chatterley's Lover-transformed modern literature. Born in Nottinghamshire, he rose from a working-class childhood to become one of the most influential and controversial writers of the 20th century. Frances Wilson is a critic, journalist, and biographer known for bringing electrifying insight into the lives of literary figures. Her acclaimed works include The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth and How to Survive the Titanic, both prizewinners, as well as Guilty Thing: A Life of Thomas De Quincey, a finalist for major national awards. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and former Cullman Center Fellow at the New York Public Library, Wilson is celebrated for her narrative daring.
