Sri Aurobindo began writing poems while a young man in England and continued to write poetry throughout his life. More than two hundred poems are collected in this volume along with an essay �On Quantitative Metre�, though his epic Savitri is not included. The poems are grouped into categories, beginning with short poems and lyrics written during specified periods between the years 1890�1950. These are followed by his sonnets, his longer poems such as �Urvasie� and �Love and Death�, Ilion, an epic in quantitative hexameters, and poems in new metres.
