On the Move
by Thom Gunn "Man, you gotta Go." The blue jay scuffling in the bushes follows Some hidden purpose, and the gush of birds That spurts across the field, the wheeling swallows, Have nested in the trees and undergrowth. Seeking their instinct, or their poise, or both, One moves with an uncertain violence Under the dust thrown by a baffled sense Or the dull thunder of approximate words. On motorcycles, up the road, they come: Small, black, as flies hanging in heat, the Boys, Until the distance throws them forth, their hum Bulges to thunder held by calf and thigh. In goggles, donned impersonality, In gleaming jackets trophied with the dust, They strap in doubtby hiding it, robust And almost hear a meaning in their noise. Exact conclusion of their hardiness Has no shape yet, but from known whereabouts They ride, directions where the tires press.

Authors : Thom Gunn [828 GUN] It is easiest to use the Collected Poems, 1993. This brings together almost all that is to be found in the separate volumes (most important volumes asterisked): Fighting Terms, 1954, revised 1958 and subsequently; *The Sense of Movement, 1957; *My Sad Captains, 1961; Positives, with photographs by Ander Gunn (not reprinted or in Collected Poems); *Touch, 1967; *Moly, 1971; Jack Straw's Castle, 1976; The Passages of Joy, 1982; *The Man with Night Sweats, 1992. Gunn edited Selected Poems of Fulke Greville, 1968, and Jonson, 1974. This interest in Elizabethan and Jacobean verse is not accidental. The introductions to these volumes are included in The Occasions of Poetry: Essays in Criticism and Autobiography, edited by Clive Wilmer, 1982 [809.1 GUN]. The criticism gives important pointers to the shaping forces in Gunn's poetry; the later volume is Shelf Life: Essays, Memoirs and an Interview, 1993 [828 GUN], where the essays on his teacher Yvor Winters and the gay poet Robert Duncan are particularly worth attention.

Thom Gunn
(1929 - living) U.K. - U.S.A.
Poet 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." After leaving school, Gunn did two years of National Service, and six months in Paris. Then went up to Cambridge, enrolling in Trinity College. He was twenty-one, and by his own account - and notwithstanding his precocity as a reader - 'strangely immature'. But, surrounded by lively and challenging contemporaries - Karl Miller, John Coleman, John Mander, Tony White, and Mark Boxer, amongst them - Gunn came of age, as can be seen from the poems he began to write at this time, poems which were to make up his first book. Fighting Terms appeared in 1954, the year after Gunn's graduation, to considerable acclaim. 'This is one of the few volumes of postwar verse that all serious readers of poetry need to possess and to study,' wrote the critic, John Press, and few dissented. As Timothy Steele put it more recently: "Impressive for their concentration, their vigour, and their effective fusion of traditional metre with contemporary idiom, these poems established [Gunn] as one of the most arresting voices of his generation."

Poet 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. I do not mean to disparage when I say that, for me, the work before The Passages of Joy was uneven. There are very beautiful poems, for example The Goddess Taylor Street Pierce Street Flooded Meadows The Messenger Sunlight , and many others. But in the earlier books there is often something unresolved, and I think it is the demand on himself on the one hand for exploration and incorporation of experience, which can tend to diffusion, and sometimes does, and on the other for the authority of moral intensity and focus not ever, to be sure in Winters's own way, but cognate, and perhaps ultimately inspired by him. It is interesting to me that the poems in Gunn's
