the poems

Joseph Skipsey often amended his poems, so versions in the different collections are not always the same. Even after publication, he sometimes amended the poems in his own copies of the books. In some cases, he also changed the titles (e.g. The Seaton Terrace Lass began life as The Collier Lass).

The poems include some long poems with numbered sections - The Posy Gift, The Magic Glass, The Golden Bowl, Becky Sharp. These are listed under their overall titles, but the sections are also listed separately, with the overall title indicated in brackets afterwards.
