Yet from 1948 until 1963 official disapproval of his poetry forced him to live in isolation. Those grim years inspired his finest work: he developed themes of man's suffering, his lost innocence and the frustration of life in a world of ambiguities. Originally influenced by surrealism, he makes use of the juxtaposition of unexpected images to evoke in the reader his own sense of the strangeness of human existence. This series now includes selected work by the following poets, in verse translations by, among others, W. H. Auden, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael Hanburger, Ted Hughes, J. B. Leishman, Christopher Middleton and David Wevill: Akhmatova, Amichai, Apollinaire, Bobrowski / Bienek, Ekelof, Enzensberger, Four Greek Poets: Cavafy / Elytis / Gatsos / Seferis, Grass, Herbert, Holan, Holub, Kovner / Sachs, Montale, Pavese, Popa, Prevert, Quasimodo, Rilke, Three Czech poets: Nezval / Bartusek / Hanzlik, Ungaretti, Weores / Juhasz, Yevtushenko.'
