As Jeremy Lybarger wrote in The New Republic, the author of Moly and The Man with Night Sweats was an agile poet who renovated tradition to accommodate the rude litter of modernity. Thom Gunn: A Cool Queer Life chronicles, for the first time, the largely undocumented life of this revolutionary poet. Michael Nott, a coeditor of The Letters of Thom Gunn, draws on letters, diaries, notebooks, interviews, and Gunns poetry to create a portrait as vital as the man himself.Nott writes with insight and intimacy about the great sweep of Gunns life: his traditional childhood in England; his mothers suicide; the mind-opening education he received at Cambridge, reading Shakespeare and John Donne; his decades in San Francisco and with his life partner, Mike Kitay; and his visceral experience of sex, drugs, and loss. Thom Gunn: A Cool Queer Life is a long-awaited, landmark study of one of England and Americas most innovative poets....2192031Thom Gunn312434https://www.gandhi.com.mx/thom-gunn/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2033583/42e4284e-cde6-4489-99c2-162a808d5ee4.jpg?v=638860611641400000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2033541/42e4284e-cde6-4489-99c2-162a808d5ee4.jpg?v=638345441151570000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780374721374_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9780374721374_A no-holds-barred biography of the great poet and sexual rebel, who could give the dead a voice, make them sing (Hilton Als, The New Yorker).Thom Gunn was not a confessional poet, and he withheld much, but inseparable from his rigorous, formal poetry was a ravenous, acute experience of life and death.Raised in Kent, England, and educated at Cambridge, Gunn found a home in San Francisco, where he documented the citys queerness, the hippie mentality (and drug use) of the sixties, and the tragedy and catastrophic impact of the AIDS crisis in the eighties and beyond.
