Later, the solar system will flare up and fall into space, irretrievably lost. For the loss, as for the life, there will be no excuse, there is no justification. Gunn's poems untwist the conundrum of knowing and transform it into wisdomthat which is beyond the self, beyond the mediating circumstance. His is poetry that you can turn to in the dead of night for hard words that do not exclude. Book Description One of the best-known and best-loved poets of the English-speaking world, Larkin (1922-85) had only a small number of poems published during his lifetime. Collected Poems, which J. D. McClatchy called "a fascinating and indispensable text" in The New York Times Book Review, brings together not only all of Larkin's published verseThe North Ship (1945), the pamphlet of XX Poems (1953), The Less Deceived (1955), The Whitsun Weddings (1964), and High Windows (1974)but also a vast selection of his uncollected poetry.

His parents were divorced when the poet was ten years old, and his mother committed suicide while he was a teenager. Before her death, his mother had inspired a deep love of reading in him, including affection for the writings of Marlowe, Keats Milton , and Tennyson , as well as several prose writers. Before enrolling in Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1950, he spent two years in the national service and six months in Paris. In 1954, the year after his graduation, Gunn's first poetry collection, Fighting Terms , was published. The book was instantly embraced by several critics, including John Press, who wrote, "This is one of the few volumes of postwar verse that all serious readers of poetry need to possess and to study." Gunn relocated to San Francisco and held a one-year fellowship at Stanford University, where he studied with Yvor Winters Over the next few decades, he published several collections that were not as warmly received as his earliest work, including

Thom Gunn From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Thom Gunn , born Thomson William Gunn (29 August 1929 – 25 April 2004), was an Anglo-American poet who was praised both for his early verses in England, where he was associated with The Movement and his later poetry in America, even after moving toward a looser, free-verse style. After relocating from England to San Francisco , Gunn, who became openly gay, wrote about gay-related topics — particularly in his most famous work, The Man With Night Sweats in 1992 — as well as drug use, sex, and topics related to his bohemian lifestyle. He won numerous major literary awards.

Fall 1999 Painting by Vuillard Two dumpy women with buns were drinking coffee And I think it was whitewashed, in spite of all the shade. They were flat brown, they were as brown as coffee. Wearing brown muslin? I really could not tell. How I loved this painting, they had grown so old That everything had got less complicated, Brown clothes and shade in a sunken whitewashed kitchen. Or less enjoyable, not dark, not whitewashed. The people sitting on the marble steps Of the national gallery, people in the sunlight, A party of handsome children eating lunch And drinking chocolate milk, and a young woman Whose t-shirt bears the defiant word WHATEVER, And wrinkled folk with visored hats and cameras Are vivid, they are not browned, not in the least, But if they do not look like coffee they look As pungent and startling as good strong coffee tastes, Possibly mixed with chicory. And no cream. Thom Gunn was an Anglo-American poet who lived in San Francisco for most of his life. The author of

It was apparent from the beginning of his career that he was very talented and it was more and more apparent as his career went on that his talent was fostered by his ambition and his capacity for undefensive self-criticism. Throughout his career his work has been steadily developing along a trajectory towards the achievement in The Passages of Joy (1982) and, ten years later, this new book, The Man with Night Sweats. In these books, and most vividly in the latter, it becomes clear that he is a great poet. Among the other astonishing poems in this astonishing book there is this one, "Yellow Pitcher Plant":

Poetry Erotic balance Robert Potts on the perfect poise of Thom Gunn's Boss Cupid Tweet this The Guardian Saturday 25 March 2000 01.39 GMT Boss Cupid Thom Gunn Buy it at BOL Thom Gunn's poetry has always been celebratory. In the 50s, as an English poet of the Movement generation, his icons were leather-clad bikers, Elvis Presley, soldiers - the rough, tough men of action - and he famously wrote "I praise the overdog, from Alexander / To those who would not play with Stephen Spender", lines that are still a joy today. In the 1960s, Gunn moved to the US with his lover; what followed was a celebration of San Francisco, the boys, the bathhouses, the drugs, the city itself. It has been a wide-ranging celebration employing a generous breadth of forms, from imitations of 17th-century poets through syllabics and free verse. The epidemic of the 80s - the lives cut short, the gutting of a joyful extended family - is rendered in The Man With Night Sweats (1992), one of the outstanding volumes of the decade: elegaic, beautiful, rigorous and resolutely affirmative even in the face of grief.
