PAPERBACK, cover price $12.99, very good, top foredge lightly soiled, book itself appears unused. THOMPSON, DUNSTAN. Dunstan Thompson: on the life and work of a lost American master. D.A. Powell & Kevin Prufer, editors. Warrensburg, Mo.: Pleiades Press, 2010, stated FIrst Pleiades Press printing, and 1st printing number line ending in 1, 183pp., . Series: Unsung masters series Largely unknown today, Dunstan Thompson was once one of the most celebrated young poets in America. Published during and shortly after WWII, his often harrowing, homoerotic poems--many set on the battlefields and in the hospitals of the European Theater-were compared favorably to the work of W. H. Auden, Hart Crane, and Dylan Thomas. Then, as far as the general public was concerned, Dunstan Thompson disappeared. In a series of essays, interviews, letters, and clippings, this book traces Thompson's journey from a wildly successful literary enfant terrible, through his strong Catholic reawakening, and into his later years as a writer of mature, meditative, largely unpublished poetry. The first in Pleiades Press' Unsung Masters Series devoted to great out-of-print writers, this book also includes a selection of Thompson's very best poetry. - CONTENTS: Introduction / Kevin Prufer -- A folio of poems / Dunstan Thompson -- An interview with Philip Trower -- What became of Dunstan Thompson? / Edward Field -- Memories of Dunstan Thompson, a letter / Sanford Gifford -- Lovelorn at first read: on discovering Dunstan Thompson: an essay / Kolt Beringer -- A folio of images [from the collection of Philip Trower]-- Clippings from Vice Versa -- Revisitng Vice Versa: an essay / Dana Gioia -- Battles in the boudoir: Thompson's intimate metaphors of war: an essay / Heather Treseler -- Dunstan Thompson's "Beautiful and butcher beast" unleashed and on the prowl: an essay / Jim Elledge -- "I can only promise poems": finding Dunstan Thompson: an essay / Katie Ford -- "Again in all his poor": Dunstan Thompson's incarnational theology: an essay / Jerry Harp -- A phoenix in a desert: an essay / Philip Trower.

A Catholic, he wrote openly about gay and wartime experiences. Thompson joined the U.S. Army in 1942; his Poems (Simon & Schuster) was published in 1943. Borges translated some of his poems into Spanish shortly after. Also in 1942 he published a novel, The Dove with the Bough of Olive. After the war he travelled in the Middle East and settled in the United Kingdom. In 1947, he published Lament for the Sleepwalker, another book of poetry. Subsequently, he published little and virtually disappeared from literary circles; a few poems were taken by magazines. He lived as a Catholic in a celibate relationship with his partner until his death from liver cancer aged 57. Poems 1950-1974 (1984, Paradigm Press) was a posthumous collection.
