About Lyrical Poems (1930–1950)

Sri Aurobindo once wrote that he wanted his short poems published in two separate books, one of sonnets and the other of "(mainly) lyrical poems". His sonnets were published in 1980. This book contains all other significant short poems composed between 1930 and 1950. Most of the poems included are "lyrical" in the technical sense: they are short and express the writer's personal thoughts and feelings. Unlike most other examples of the genre, however, their lyricism is spiritual and psychic. Along with the later sonnets and the epic Savitri, they represent Sri Aurobindo's highest achievement in spiritual or yogic poetry.

This book is brought out in the same shape and format as Sonnets.
