Auden: Poems: Edited by Edward Mendelson (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series)

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.
