Born and raised in Britain, Thom Gunn has lived in the United
States since 1954. He is well known as a poet and is increasingly
gaining recognition as a literary critic. Gunn's main concern in
Shelf Life is with twentieth-century American poets, both the
famous and the obscure; he also discusses other matters, including
the Elizabethans, Christopher Isherwood as man and stylist, and
Gunn's own poetry, which he touches on indirectly in the first two
sections of the book and directly in the last. Gunn's criticism
communicates his own enthusiasm for poetry. He tries to show his
readers how to get a first foothold into the work of some of his
favorite poets, whether Wyatt or Whitman, Mina Loy or Robert
Creeley.
