As usual, Gunn comes across as admirable: reserved about his private life, thoughtful about his principles. He's someone who's quite devoted to nightlife, to sex of course, to fun, and yet he's articulated a liveable moral stringency, and an entirely appealing way of connecting art to ethical choice ... It's dangerous to take anyone's life as exemplary - that must be one of the differences between people and poems - but Gunn's in some ways can seem so.

Having won a writing fellowship at Stanford, the young gay poet with "a promiscuous love of experience" studied with the famously rigorous Yvor Winters. Gunn’s already incisive style sharpened under Winters’s formalist tutelage, but his tone and subject kept their rebellious edge. His second book, for instance, began with a poem in rhymed iambic pentameter stanzas about a motorcycle gang on the move.

BTL talks to Thom Gunn about his life and work A Note on Thom Gunn Evening Standard , and then, somewhat later, of the Daily Sketch . Gunn's mother had also been a journalist, but gave up her career with the births of Thom and his younger brother, Ander. Gunn was only eight years old when the family moved to London, settling in Hampstead. He remembers the time and the place with great affection, and speaks of his boyhood as a very happy one. Just two years after the move, however, his parents were divorced. And four years after that, when Gunn was still in his mid-teens, his mother committed suicide. Asked about these events, and their effect on him, Gunn's inclination has been to ask whether all adolescences aren't unhappy, and to leave it at that. Gunn's love of reading seems to have been inspired by his mother, whose books filled the house. By the time of her death, he was immersed in the writings of Marlowe, Keats, Milton and Tennyson - to mention only the poets - and was unquestioningly committed to the idea "of books as not just a commentary on life but as a part of its continuing activity."

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Gunn, Thom (1929-2004) The Anglo-American writer Thom Gunn was a major gay poet and a perceptive critic of gay poetry. Gunn was born in Gravesend, Kent, and educated at University College School, Bedales and Trinity College, Cambridge. After coming to the United States in 1954, he studied at Stanford and taught at the University of California, Berkeley. He won a number of prestigious awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the W. H. Smith Award, the Forward Press Award, and the MacArthur Prize. Sponsor Message. Gunn's poetry has a popular reputation for sex and drugs and leather. This comes largely from the repeated anthologizing of his early poems from the collections Fighting Terms (1954) and The Sense of Movement (1956). In both books, a heroic masculine posing is celebrated as preferable, existentially, to the dull passivity of conformity. His leather boys in the poem "On the Move" are "always nearer by not keeping still." The voice of "Carnal Knowledge" admits that "even in bed I pose." Posing does not disappear entirely from Gunn's later poems; there is often the sense of looking at looking at looking. And this perspective is exacerbated in the collections after

Survival Summary The theme of this book of poems is life in a time of deadly plague. The author depicts his world ravaged by illness. Some of the poems are quiet love songs for others, for the world and its delights, a world turned upside-down by the ravages of AIDS. Many of the poems are elegies for friends who have died in the epidemic. Commentary Gunn's poems are lyrical, restrained, yet brutally honest. The work gains in power because of its lack of hysteria or exhibitionism. The use of meter and rhyme also contribute to the intensity, perhaps by providing the reader with sufficient distance to see more clearly the horror of a world in which "Of course the dead outnumber us / How their recruiting armies grow!" ("Death's Door"). Poems about the experience of dying from the patient's and/or survivor's standpoint include "Lament," "Terminal," "Still Life," "Sacred Heart," "Memory Unsettled," and the title poem. "Well Dennis O'Grady" is a lovely little poem about an aged man "delighted to be out / in the slight December sunshine. . . ."

12. Threepenny: Gunn, Painting By Vuillard Poem by thom gunn. http://www.threepennyreview.com/samples/gunn_f99.html

Fall 1999 Painting by Vuillard Two dumpy women with buns were drinking coffee And I think it was whitewashed, in spite of all the shade. They were flat brown, they were as brown as coffee. Wearing brown muslin? I really could not tell. How I loved this painting, they had grown so old That everything had got less complicated, Brown clothes and shade in a sunken whitewashed kitchen. Or less enjoyable, not dark, not whitewashed. The people sitting on the marble steps Of the national gallery, people in the sunlight, A party of handsome children eating lunch And drinking chocolate milk, and a young woman Whose t-shirt bears the defiant word WHATEVER, And wrinkled folk with visored hats and cameras Are vivid, they are not browned, not in the least, But if they do not look like coffee they look As pungent and startling as good strong coffee tastes, Possibly mixed with chicory. And no cream. Thom Gunn was an Anglo-American poet who lived in San Francisco for most of his life. The author of

15. Boston Review: thom gunn's book reviewed by David Ferry. http://bostonreview.mit.edu/BR18.3/ferry.html

The Man with Night Sweats Thom Gunn Farrar, Strauss, and Giroux, $15.00 The Rage of Understanding David Ferry Thom Gunn began writing in England just after World War II and came to this country in the mid-50s. It was apparent from the beginning of his career that he was very talented and it was more and more apparent as his career went on that his talent was fostered by his ambition and his capacity for undefensive self-criticism. Throughout his career his work has been steadily developing along a trajectory towards the achievement in The Passages of Joy (1982) and, ten years later, this new book, The Man with Night Sweats. In these books, and most vividly in the latter, it becomes clear that he is a great poet. Among the other astonishing poems in this astonishing book there is this one, "Yellow Pitcher Plant": flowering stomach scroll of leaf covered with small honeyed warts by which the seely fly is lured to sloping pastures at the trumpet's lip till grazing downhill the fly finds the underbrush of hairs casually pushed through has closed behind a thicket of lances sharkteeth trap oh alas!

Search Erotic balance Robert Potts on the perfect poise of Thom Gunn's Boss Cupid Guardian Saturday March 25, 2000 Boss Cupid Thom Gunn Buy it at BOL Thom Gunn's poetry has always been celebratory. In the 50s, as an English poet of the Movement generation, his icons were leather-clad bikers, Elvis Presley, soldiers - the rough, tough men of action - and he famously wrote "I praise the overdog, from Alexander / To those who would not play with Stephen Spender", lines that are still a joy today. In the 1960s, Gunn moved to the US with his lover; what followed was a celebration of San Francisco, the boys, the bathhouses, the drugs, the city itself. It has been a wide-ranging celebration employing a generous breadth of forms, from imitations of 17th-century poets through syllabics and free verse. The epidemic of the 80s - the lives cut short, the gutting of a joyful extended family - is rendered in The Man With Night Sweats (1992), one of the outstanding volumes of the decade: elegaic, beautiful, rigorous and resolutely affirmative even in the face of grief.
