Poems of Adoration is a 1912 collection of poems by Michael Field. Michael Field served as the joint pen name for Edith Emma Cooper (1862-1913) and her aunt Katharine Harris Bradley (1846-1914). Together, they produced around 40 works under the secret pseudonym until they were exposed, possibly as a result of revealing their identity to their friend Robert Browning. A fantastic collection of classic poetry not to be missed by fans and collectors of the secretive duo’s wonderful work. The poems include: Desolation , Entbehren Sollst Du , Fregit , Sicut Parvuli , Aurum, Thus, et Myrrha-Alleluia , Holy Communion , Of Silence , Real Presence, From the Highway , ‘That He Should Taste Death for Every Man’ , Nimis Honorati Sunt , Blessed are the Beggars Matt. V. 3 , The Blessed Sacrament , etc. Other notable works by Field include: The Father’s Tragedy (1885), Bellerophon (1881), and The Tragic Mary (1890).
