The Complete Poems

This is a new edition of the complete poems of British poet Keith Douglas. By the time he was killed in Normandy, aged only twenty-four, in June 1944, Douglas had achieved a considerable body of work, begun when he was at school at Christ's Hospital, continued at Oxford, and then when he was in the army in England and the Middle East. Desmond Graham, Douglas's biographer and a poet in his own right, has revised his original edition of the poems, and the useful notes on Douglas's variants remain.
