The Land by Vita Sackville-West is a collection of poems that has recently come in to the public domain.

The Land is her pastoral epic and in 1927 was awarded the Hawthornden Prize of Imaginative Literature.

Written when Sackville-West became homesick for her beautiful home in Kent, it had six print runs within three years of its publication in 1926. She was always popular for her gardening, her lifestyle, and bohemian companions,, such as Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury group. Her nostalgia for farming and the beauty of the seasons is described with an artistโ€™s eye for detail.

Vita Sackville-West (1892โ€“1962) was a successful novelist, poet, and journalist, as well as a prolific letter writer and diarist. She published more than a dozen collections of poetry and thirteen novels during her lifetime. She was twice awarded the Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: in 1927 for her pastoral epic, The Land, and in 1933 for her Collected Poems. She was the inspiration for the protagonist of Orlando: A Biography by her famous friend and lover, Virginia Woolf.

Nano Nagle is an experienced and engaging narrator whose voice can be heard everywhere from audiobooks to commercials. With the ability to do a multitude of character voices and her love of storytelling, she excels with titles in all genres, including science fiction, historical fiction, and mystery.
