A Selected Poems and The Collected Poems and Epigrams of J. V. Cunningham appeared in 1971. Cunningham died in 1985. Klappentext Described during his lifetime by Thom Gunn as 'one of the most accomplished poets alive! J V Cunningham was perhaps best known for his epigrams. Documenting his early style as an experimental modernist poet during the Depression and his ability as a translator! this work shows his later emergence as a master of the short poems that made his name. Zusammenfassung Cunningham was originally published in 1997 and also includes many of his later poems and translations, some of which appeared in periodicals but have never before been collected together in a book, and is a brilliant introduction to a forgotten poet who was described by the New York Times as 'one of the best poets in America'.
