New Collected Poems

Meer over het boek

By the age of 17, David Gascoyne already had a debut collection to his name. He spent much of the next few years in the French capital with Dali, Ernst, Breton, and other Surrealists, and by the age of 22 he had firmly established himself within the movement with Man's Life is this Meat and Hderlin's Madness. He published many poetry collections as well as work in other genres, including fiction and the acclaimed BBC radio-play Night Thoughts. This New Collected Poems comprises all of the work that Gascoyne chose to preserve, as well as much uncollected and unpublished work. It falls to present-day readers of Gascoyne's work to discover his influence on 20th century literature.
