Volume : III, Issue : XI, December - 2013 The Poetry Of Thom Gunn : An Overview Iram Siddiqui Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Thom Gunn, who has been a long time resident of California, dominated English poetry in 1960s and 1970s. He combines a respect for traditional poetic forms with an interest in popular topics, such as the Hell's Angels, LSD and homosexuality. His poetry was associated with the Movement and also with the works of Ted Hughes. Gunn's poetry, together with that of Philip Larkin, Donald Davie and other members of the Movement, has been described as 'emphasizing purity of diction and neutral tone……. encouraging a more spare language and a desire to represent a seeing of the world with fresh eyes'.
