Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq mclose@ The Hug It was your birthday, we had drunk and dined Half of the night with our old friend Who'd showed us in the end To a bed I reached in one drunk stride. Already I lay snug, And drowsy with the wine dozed on one side. I dozed, I slept. My sleep broke on a hug, Suddenly, from behind, In which the full lengths of our bodies pressed: Your instep to my heel, My shoulder-blades against your chest. It was not sex, but I could feel The whole strength of your body set, Or braced, to mine, And locking me to you As if we were still twenty-two When our grand passion had not yet Become familial. My quick sleep had deleted all Of intervening time and place. I only knew The stay of your secure firm dry embrace. Thom Gunn From: Hi, I am not too clear on how to have a poem published in this website but perhaps you could teach me. Thanks On Thom Gunn's poem The Hug It is simple imagery about a birthday but the "unfamilial emotions" could be likened to the quality of good wine with age. It is somewhat puzzling when he does not give more clues as to the sexes of the two characters. One can imagine the narrator could be a woman or a gay person. Not that it takes anything from the beauty of this poem in either case, in fact it gives it some social subtlety and perhaps a vital minority statement. Sandi Ordinario

    Extractions: hostName = '.typepad.com'; Main If you were or are at all interested in the poet Thom Gunn, whose passing I noted below , you should certainly read Gerard Van der Leun's reminiscence, which he has posted today on his American Digest site and has also left entire as a Comment to my post. He was at Berkeley about ten years ahead of me, and had a much closer contact with Gunn than I could ever claim. Worthwhile for anyone intrigued by Lives of the Poets. Elsewhere, the Guardian has printed an appreciation of Gunn by the Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion to whom I previously administered a bit of a tweaking for his role shilling a very bad movie.

From the Times Acclaimed as one of the most promising young poets of postwar Britain, Mr. Gunn found his own voice after he migrated to California in the 1950s and established himself in San Francisco, his home for the rest of his life. There, he wedded traditional form to unorthodox themes like LSD, panhandling, and homosexuality. He experimented with free verse and syllabic stanzas. In doing so he evolved from British tradition and European existentialism to embrace the relaxed ways of the California counterculture. It was your birthday, we had drunk and dined

    Extractions: Not many people outside Britain remember Thom Gunn, the last surviving member of the triumvirate of British poetry in the 1950s (alongside Larkin and Hughes), although some may remember some of his early poems. His first book, Fighting Terms (1954), was a huge success. It struck a refreshing contrast with 1940s Romantic delicacy, and presaged the plain-speaking and tidy formalism of the Movement. There was barely time for Gunn to be co-opted into the Movement before he was off, to San Francisco, whose gay culture appealed to him and where he settled finally in 1961 after two more collections, A Sense of Movement (1957) and My Sad Captains (1961). The signs were good: his qualifications of terms, of both treaty and treatise, had become more subtle as his poetry became more robust and rebellious, although this tended to hide a particularity which shows up a poem such as ‘Considering the Snail’ as self-justification: Gunn writes that, to see the snail’s “trail of broken white” after the fact, I would never have

    Extractions: This review featured in Issue 3 of the Black Mountain Review. Other reviews by Niall McGrath Boss Cupid Thom Gunn Thom Gunn is so trendy and cool, it is difficult to imagine him as an aging gentleman. But he has been publishing poetry for almost a half-century now. Strange, too, to think he has thus far been overlooked for the Nobel Prize - a bit like MacNeice's not 'fitting in' as strictly either Irish or English, Gunn appears to belong to 'neither' England nor America and so the ultimate acclaim has eluded him. Yet his life's work would readily justify such an honour, not least for The Man With Night Sweats and this, 'sequel', Boss Cupid These poems memorialise friends who have died, but in such a way that they avoid pomp and pomposity, even eulogy and a wallowing in the elegiac. Cupid is presented as 'the devious master of our bodies', so the contemporary fascination with the physical (or meataphysical rather than metaphysical) continues. But Gunn is such a superb master of form and articulation that he does wonders with the subject matter he contemplates. As Glyn Maxwell as said, Gunn writes about 'that lost and loving centre between brain and body, which thinks while it feels, and feels while it learns...' Gunn adopts - but adapts - the American craze for in-your-face confessional pieces by melding his classical, traditional style to the new 'out'ness. Gunn's readings in America have not always passed without negative reaction, though it is his songs for Jeffrey Dahmer (the notorious serial killer) that have caused the walkouts. As distasteful as the subject may be, the literary skill with which Gunn presents the warped mind of the psycho trophy-collector is superlative. Certainly the collection in general is irreverent in tone, but that does not mean that these pieces are devoid of horror at Dahmer's evil. If anything, they lay bare the very nature of such wickedness.
