An excellent introduction to Keith Douglas in the L.A. Review of Books
Steven L. Isenberg published an excellent piece on Keith Douglas in the L.A. Review of Books the other day (see here). His article provides an introduction to Douglas for American readers and does a great job of meshing biography, prose snippets and extracts from poems, all in a limited word count. Keith Douglas' work isn't widely known on the other side of the pond, but Isenberg's feature contributes to rectifying that anomaly and bringing his verse to the attention of a transatlantic readership.

It was great to see this article!
ReplyDeleteDear Matthew
ReplyDeleteI agree that he deserves to be far better known. In fact, I'm hoping for some posthumous attention too!
Best wishes from Simon R. Gladdish
