Lovers of poetry! You are going to love William Sharp! A Scottish writer of poetry, the tone of Sharp's poems is what you'd describe as soulful, tender, nostalgic and just a little tragic. This anthology is a collection of Sharp's greatest poems, including the ones written under his (almost secret), pseudonym Fiona Macleod. William was not just a poet, he also edited the works of other greats like Walter Scott, Matthew Arnold and Ossian. A neo-pagan, and part of the secret society The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he believed that neo-paganism would usher in a period of gender equality. Sharp is not your conventional poet. The depth and emotion in his works will show this to you. When you read this anthology, you'll be reading from the mind of a poet who felt deeply and wrote passionately. This collection is a delight for any lover of Celtic poetry, and a worthy discovery for any reader.
