Résumé du livre

ptoand: This is the only complete edition of Keith Douglas's poems, 105 in all, with notes and variants from other mss. Desmond Graham is also Douglas's biographer (OUP, out of print) From Hughes's introduction: Each poem turns out to be an exercise... whatever they are, these 'exercises' display his striving towards and eventually, briefly, perfecting the qualities we value in him: the incisive, nimble glance, the uniquely tempered music, the simple, pointblank bull's eye statement, the tensile delicacy.
