Near and Far is an evocative collection of lyrical verse by the celebrated English poet Edmund Blunden. Written during a period of transition and travel, this volume showcases the author's profound connection to the natural world while expanding his poetic horizons. The work is notable for its juxtaposition of the quiet, pastoral beauty of the English countryside with the vivid and unfamiliar landscapes Blunden encountered during his time in the Far East.

The poems within Near and Far demonstrate Blunden's characteristic mastery of traditional forms and his sensitive, observant eye. The collection is organized into sections that transition from the intimate details of rural life-a hallmark of his reputation as a major nature poet-to the broader reflections inspired by his experiences in Japan. Through his verse, Blunden explores themes of memory, displacement, and the enduring spirit of place. This work serves as an important bridge in his literary career, reflecting both the remnants of the Georgian poetic tradition and a burgeoning international perspective. Near and Far remains a vital resource for readers of 20th-century British literature and those who appreciate the intersection of travel and the poetic imagination.
