Unicorns, Almost portrays the short life of World War II poet Keith
Douglas, from his childhood through four engagements to his
fighting in the Western desert, his accelerated education as a poet
and his early death three days after the Normandy D-Day landings at
the age of twenty-four. It is the story of his Faustian pact with a
war that would nurture his unique poetic voice before taking it
away. It is also the story of his desperate race to see his poems
in print. Widely recognised as the finest poet of World War Two,
Keith Douglas was championed by Ted Hughes as an important
influence. Hughes wrote the introduction to Douglas's Collected
Poems, published by Faber. Unicorns, Almost by Owen Sheers opened
at The Swan Hotel, Hay-on-Wye, in May 2018.
