Paperback. Condition: New. New edition. Poet, novelist, playwright, diaryist, anthologist and broadcaster, Dannie Abse has contributed hugely to literature in Britain. In There was a Young Man from Cardiff he presents a series of deceptions - or are they? - which ask about the nature of 'truth' and 'reality'.Characters and events materialise and change as though a mist swirls around them: twins appear and disappear in 'Madagascar'; 'The Marvellous Girl' echoes the 'marvellous boy' of Chatterton, whose writing fooled the literary world. Behind these fictions is the young Dannie, newly qualified doctor struggling to grasp the post-war world of adults, relationships, family and illness. His progress towards a better understanding of life is mirrored by his development as a writer. Charming, quirky, Dannie Abse's fiction is a world in which everyday surfaces are underlain by the strange, scarcely understood currents of human nature.Dannie Abse (b. 1923) was born in Cardiff and studied Medicine at Cardiff, King's College and Westminster Hospital. A poet, novelist, playwright, he has also published diaries and autobiography. He has published eleven volumes of poetry including a Collected Poems.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Alun Lewis (1915-1944), the remarkable poet and story writer, died, aged 28, in Burma during the Second World War. Some critics see him as the last of the great Romantic poets, a twentieth century Keats. Others view him as the bridge between pre-war poets like Auden and Yeats to post-war poets such as Hughes and Gunn. He was born and raised in Depression-struck south Wales and, following degrees in history at Aberystwyth and Manchester, became a teacher there. Early in 1940, despite his pacifist inclinations he enlisted and, after long periods of training, joined the war in India.Becoming a soldier galvanised Lewis's writing. By 1944 he had written two collections of poems and one of short stories, all published to considerable acclaim. Firmly established with Keith Douglas as the leading writer of the Second World War, Lewis's death in an accident while on active service was a huge loss to English literature. This Collected Poems comprises a body of work which has endured and which transcends the label 'war poetry'; it is complete in itself and full of promise of greater things."Always, one feels the pressure of integrity behind his writing. And in elegising Lewis's promise we should not overlook his actual achievement"M Wynn Thomas, The Guardian This Collected Poems comprises a body of work which has endured and which transcends the label 'war poetry'; it is complete in itself and full of promise of greater things.
