Other W.H. Auden Things

This website is a decitation to the life and works of W.H. Auden. Though he wrote a considerable body of criticism and essays as well as co-authoring some drama with his friend Christopher Isherwood, but he is primarily known as a poet. Auden's work is characterised by exceptional variety, ranging from such rigorous traditional forms as the villanelle to original yet intricate forms, as well as the technical and verbal skills Auden displayed regardless of form.

One can not help but be drawn in to the style that W.H. Auden has given to the world. This website offers some of his poems with my personal interrupration and the insight have gained. Along with this, there is also a bio on Auden and links to where you can learn more about him and his works.

W.H. Auden


Good little sunbeams must learn to fly,
But it's madly ungay when the goldfish die.
