Description

First published in 1968, this companion volume to the "Collected Shorter Poems" was compiled by W.H. Auden to bring together six of his longer poetic works, originally published between 1930 and 1947. Auden was one of the modern masters of the extended poem, and these works are among his most enduring achievements, both for their technical virtuosity and for the emotional and intellectual precision with which they dissected the malaise and turmoil of their age. "Collected Longer Poems" includes "Paid on Both Sides", "Letter to Lord Byron", "For the Time Being", "The Sea and the Mirror", and "The Age of Anxiety".
