Selected poems
"Gascoyne was among the earliest champions of Surrealism: in 1935 his Short Survey of Surrealism was published, and in the next year he was one of the organisers of the London International Surrealist Exhibition. From this period, and during his time living in France in 1937-39, date his friendships with Dali, Max Ernst, Andre Breton, Paul Eluard and Pierre Jean Jouve. As well as becoming internationally celebrated as a poetespecially after publication of his Poems 1937-1942, with its Graham Sutherland images - Gascoyne became highly regarded as a translator, notably of Holderlin and of the leading French Surrealists: his Selected Verse Translations are published by Enitharmon in conjunction with these Selected Poems. After the war Gascoyne consolidated his reputation with A Vagrant and Other Poems (1950), and with Night Thoughts (1956), commissioned by Douglas Cleverdon for BBC Radio. His Collected Poems were published by Oxford University Press in 1965, remaining in print until 1993."--BOOK JACKET
