Description

Considering Auden as a homosexual poet, this volume shows that Auden's career was tied to a process of gay self-interrogation and argues that he was driven by a powerful yearning to comprehend the psychological, political and ethical implications of same-sex desire. Auden's theories about poetry in the 1930s and after reflected an intense concern with how to write publicly as a homosexual poet. That struggle was made manifest in his love poetry, which Bozorth argues constitutes a kind of "erotic autobiography" exploring the distinct challenges of homosexual love. Bozorth examines the poet's engagements with avant-garde poetics, gay subculture, psychoanalysis, leftist politics and theology. This book proposes that from his early fascination with secret agent and trickster figures to his later theories of poetry as an I-Thou relation, Auden viewed poetry as a fictional but primal erotic encounter with the reader.
