Thom Gunn, born in 1929, has received many awards, including a Lila Acheson Wallace/Reader's Digest Fellowship and a MacArthur Fellowship.

This volume—a contemporary classic by "one of the most singular and compelling poets in English [of] the past half-century" (Times Literary Supplement)—contains poems written in response to the AIDS crisis. Originally published in 1992, it was Thom Gunn's first book of verse in ten years.
