Description: The Letters of Thom Gunn presents the first complete portrait of the private life reflections and relationships of a maverick figure in the history of British and American poetry I write about love I write about friendship remarked Thom Gunn. I find that they are absolutely intertwined. These core values permeate his correspondence with friends family lovers and fellow poets and they shed new light on one of the most singular and compelling poets in English during the past half - century (Hugh Haughton The Times Literary Supplement). The Letters of Thom Gunn edited by August Kleinzahler Michael Nott and Clive Wilmer reveals the evolution of Gunn's work and illuminates the fascinating life that informed his poems: his struggle to come to terms with his mother's suicide; settling in San Francisco and his complex relationship with England; his changing relationship with his life partner Mike Kitay; the LSD trips that led to his celebrated collection Moly (1971); and the deaths of friends from AIDS that inspired the powerful unsparing elegies of The Man with Night Sweats (1992).
