Presented here in a fine hardcover edition, Poems: Auden is a is a reminder of W. H. Auden's exhilarating lyric power and his understanding of love and longing in all their sacred and profane guises.

Witty, urbane, civil, and worldly, W. H. Auden endowed poetry in the English language with a new face. Or rather, with several faces, since his work ranged from the political to the religious, from the urbane to the pastoral, from the mandarin to the invigoratingly plain-spoken.
This representative collection displays the astonishing range of Auden's voice and the breadth of his concerns, his deep knowledge of the traditions he inherited, and his ability to recast those traditions in modern times.

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jewel-toned jacket.

About W. H. Auden

One of the leading English-language poets of the twentieth century, W. H. Auden (1907–1973) was born in York, England, and educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he befriended Stephen Spender and Christopher Isherwood. The 1930 publication of Poems established him as the defining voice of a new generation. He traveled to Iceland, China, and Spain during the Civil War, then emigrated to the United States in 1939 and became an American citizen. The Pulitzer Prize for Poetry came in 1948 for The Age of Anxiety. Auden served as a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets from 1954 until his death and divided his later years between New York City and Austria. He died in Vienna on September 29, 1973.
