Description: "In his early work the predominant theme is the desire for freedom from the painful prison of the intellect and from the masks that the individual feels compelled to wear. In Gunn's later poetry, the author notes an opening to human relationships and to Nature, Gunn's vindication and reevaluation of his long repressed and hidden homosexuality"--Provided by publisher.
