W. H. Auden: Selected Poems (Vintage International) Book

This significantly expanded edition of W. H. Audenâ??s Selected Poems adds twenty poems to the hundred in the original edition, broadening its focus to better reflect the enormous wealth of form, rhetoric, tone, and content in Audenâ??s work. Newly included are such favorites as â??Funeral Bluesâ? and other works that represent Audenâ??s lighter, comic side, giving a fuller picture of the range of his genius. Also new are brief notes explaining references that may have become obscure to younger generations of readers and a revised introduction that draws on recent additions to knowledge about Auden.

As in the original edition, the new Selected Poems makes available the preferred original versions of some thirty poems that Auden revised later in life, making it the best source for enjoying the many facets of Audenâ??s art in one volume.
