I had to push through the initial third of the book as I found the poems generally uninteresting. As Graves sloughed off the stylistic conventions of a past era I felt more engaged with his imagery, some of which is striking, but it felt too little and too fleeting. Whilst this was mildly disappointing, I'm not put off from possibly exploring his later poetry, though I won't be actively seeking it out any time soon. I still love his historical fiction, though.
