Poems & Poets Please: Laurence Hope

Adela Florence Nicolson [1865-1904] was an English poet who wrote under the pseudonym Laurence Hope. She lived most of her writing life in India. After moving to Lahore at age 16 to join her father, an army colonel, she married Malcolm Nicholson, a commandant in the Bombay Army and an accomplished linguist, who was twice her age. The couple immersed themselves completely in Indian culture and customs and were considered eccentrics by their peers. Hope’s poetry is passionate, sensually charged and deceptively deep, dealing with themes of illicit sex, death, loss and spiritual transformation.
