Vernon L. Anley

Selected Poems

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Anley's poetry is remarkable for its delicacy and beautifully crafted verse. His love of poetry springs from a purer source than most poets can draw on. It has little to do with ""self-expression"" or displaying his techniques or pressing his ideas on his readers. His poetry works through intuition and feeling and what Plato called ""the further side of being."" His poems reveal a sense of the inexhaustible richness of nature and the immense value of just looking steadily at things without prejudice or preconception, patiently waiting for them to yield up their secrets.

Autorenporträt

Vernon L. Anley was educated in Australia and in England. After leaving university he worked for the Ministry of Overseas Development in the West Indies before resuming an academic career in Europe and the Far East. He has coauthored a number of academic books, written travel guides on the Hejaz and Yemen, radio scripts, and articles on linguistics and education. A Carnival of Lies, a novel about the complex developments in Germany between 1939 and 1945, is an outstanding work from which no one interested in the subject can fail to profit. His visits to Hitler's death camps in Germany, Poland, and Austria raised questions about human nature and death which he attempts to answer in An Unholy Love.
