"Christ of Revolution and of Poetry.."
17. Oktober 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
David Gascoyne, perhaps the most neglected British poet in history, accomplished with his fevered poetic career what most of us would be writers can only dream of: a record of his visionary psyche irrevocably intertwined with the chaos of his generation--the era of WWII, the Cold War, and the Great Depression.
The Catholic equivalent of a Rimbaud or Baudelaire, Gascoyne's tragic life and career as poet maudite par excellance and search for God amidst the ashes of a nearly destroyed world is reflected unconsciously in the painstaking passion of his work: "What day can ever end/the night of those from whom/God turns away his face/or what rays finger pierce/The depths of wherein they drown?" ("Noctambules", pg 121).
The obvious didacticism of Gascoyne's poetry does not overshadow his explosive poetic gift, given full expression in mind bending and gorgeous turns of phrase such as the following: "the shadows in the pools turn grey/the pearls dissolve in the shadow/and I return to you.." (The Cage, pg 43).
This collection spans from Gascoyne's early career as a youthful convert to Surrealism right on through to his most defining work, "Night Thoughts", to the intermittently broken silence represented by two decades of depression and madness resulting from amphetamine abuse.
David Gascoyne is the best kept secret of poetry's vast world, and it is high time he emerges from the shadows he fought so valiantly against.
