Includes a substantial selection of Gascoyne's poems from the early 1930s to the present. Included are examples of his earliest work in Roman Balcony (1932, published when he was sixteen) to Hölderlin's Madness (1938); all poems from his most famous volume, Poems 1937-1942, and the best-known poems from his post-war collections, including Night Thoughts (1956) in its entirety. There is a section of light verse and one section of recent poems. He established his name when he was a schoolboy, and his association with the Surrealists drew him into the orbit of Max Ernst, André Breton, and Dalí in Paris. He lived in France in the 1930s, and again in the 50s and 60s, and is revered there, both as a poet and as a translator.

About the Author:
David Gascoyne's death in November 2001 was marked by the lead obituaries in all the British broadsheets as well as in Le Monde. As a poet and translator he had been internationally renowned since the 1930s. He was the first chronicler in English of the Surrealist movement, and an essayist and reviewer of dazzling range. His association with Enitharmon dates back to 1970 and in the past decade there have been eight publications which will be a lasting testament of his importance.
