Official synopsis Publisher
‘The most remarkable phenomenon of the English poetic scene during the last ten years or so has been the advent, or perhaps I should say the irruption, of Gavin Ewart’ wrote Philip Larkin. Larkin was one among many poets and critics who admired Gavin Ewart’s work; Stephen Spender, Anthony Thwaite and Peter Porter were also fans.
Influenced by T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, but especially by W. H. Auden, Ewart was a prolific poet and his verse reflected a bawdy wit and an irrepressible sense of humour. He was largely known for his irreverence to sexual convention and is the second most prolific contributor to Making Love to Marilyn Monroe: The Faber Book of Blue Verse.””
