He was a prolific writer, publishing poetry and novels as well as taking on editorial tasks. In 1930 he became Poet Laureate, a post he retained until his death 37 years later. Contents: A Consecration; The Everlasting Mercy; Dauber; Biography; Cargoes; Sea Fever; Spanish Waters; An Old Song Re-sung; The West Wind; On Malvern Hill; Fragments; Tewkesbury Road; Sonnets; and August, 1914.
