Thom Gunn's poetry in the 1950s combined modern content with existentialist themes and Elizabethan form, influenced by Pound, Donne, Wyatt, and Stendhal.
Gunn's life was characterized by warmth and cheerfulness, yet was guarded, with a determined stance to face the world, which shaped both his personal and poetic voice.
