Sobre I Thought My Spirit & My Heart Were Tamed - Poems of Moods & Thoughts

A deeply moving collection of poems by Amy Levy, united by themes of inner conflict, emotional struggle, and reflective thought. Intimate and searching, these poems offer a poignant insight into Levy’s inner life and her remarkable poetic voice.Written with clarity and restraint, I Thought My Spirit & My Heart Were Tamed explores love, loneliness, doubt, and the longing for rest and understanding.

This collection stands as a testament to her talent and emotional honesty.Published as part of the Ragged Hand poetry imprint, this new edition includes an introductory biography of the author by Richard Garnett and is an essential volume for readers of Victorian poetry and feminist literary history.
