World first publication of the collected poems of J.R.R. Tolkien, spanning almost seven decades of the author's life and presented in an elegant three-volume hardback boxed set. J.R.R. Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art. Although Tolkien's readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as further the story; as individual works, they delight with words and rhyme. They express his love of nature and the seasons, of landscape and music, and of words. They convey his humour and his sense of wonder. The earliest work in this collection, written for his beloved, is dated to 1910, when Tolkien was eighteen. More poems would follow during his years at Oxford, some of them very elaborate and eccentric. Those he composed during the First World War, in which he served in France, tend to be concerned not with trenches and battle, but with life, loss, faith, and friendship, his longing for England, and the wife he left behind. Beginning in 1914, elements of his legendarium, 'The Silmarillion', began to appear, and the 'Matter of Middle-earth' would inspire much of Tolkien's verse for the rest of his life. Within The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien almost 250 works are presented across three volumes, including more than 70 that have never before been seen. The poems are deftly woven together with commentary and notes by world-renowned Tolkien scholars Christina Scull & Wayne G. Hammond, placing them in the context of Tolkien's life and literary accomplishments and creating a poetical biography that is a unique and revealing celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien.… (more)

J.R.R. Tolkien aspiraba a ser poeta en primera instancia, y la poesía formaba parte de su vida creativa no menos que su prosa, sus idiomas y su arte. Dentro de sus grandes obras de ficción, los poemas ayudan a establecer el carácter y el lugar, así como a avanzar en la historia; como obras individuales, se deleitan con las palabras y la rima. Expresan su amor por la naturaleza y las estaciones, por el paisaje y la música, y por las palabras. Transmiten su humor y su sentido de la maravilla.

La primera obra de esta colección, escrita para su amada, data de 1910, cuando Tolkien tenía dieciocho años. Le seguirían más poemas durante sus años en Oxford, algunos de ellos muy elaborados y excéntricos. Los que compuso durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, en la que sirvió en Francia, no suelen tratar de trincheras y batallas, sino de la vida, la pérdida, la fe y la amistad, su añoranza de Inglaterra y la esposa que dejó atrás. A partir de 1914, empezaron a aparecer elementos de su legendario "Silmarillion", y la "Materia de la Tierra Media" inspiraría gran parte de los versos de Tolkien durante el resto de su vida.

En The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien se presentan casi 250 obras en tres volúmenes, de las que más de 70 son inéditas. Los poemas están hábilmente entretejidos con comentarios y notas de los estudiosos de Tolkien Christina Scull & Wayne G. Hammond, situándolos en el contexto de la vida y los logros literarios de Tolkien y creando una biografía poética que es una celebración única y reveladora de J.R.R. Tolkien.
