Auden: Poems by W H Auden

Auden: Poems by W H Auden

The Everyman's Library Pocket Poets hardcover series is popular for its compact size and reasonable price which does not compromise content. Poems: Auden is just another reminder of his exhilarating lyric power and his understanding of love and longing in all their sacred and profane guises. One of English poetry's great 20th century masters, Poems: Auden is the short collection of an exemplary champion of human wisdom in its encounter with the mysteries of experience.

Auden was born in 1907 in York, England. In 1930, he released his first book of poems, which was followed by a dozen volumes of shorter and longer poems. He wrote books about his journeys to Iceland (with Louis MacNeice) and wartime China (with Christopher Isherwood) and worked on three plays with Christopher Isherwood. He moved to New York in 1939 and became an American citizen in 1946. He wrote opera libretti for Igor Stravinsky, Hans Werner Henze, and Nicolas Nabokov alongside his colleague Chester Kallman.

Auden returned to Oxford from his winter residence in New York in 1972. In 1973, he died in Vienna.
