A collection of Auden's shorter poems written between 1936 and 1939. 

Wystan Hugh Auden was a renowned English poet, playwright, critic, and librettist who greatly shaped 20th century poetry. He grappled with moral concerns and infused his work with potent political, social, and psychological undertones. While his early writing was heavily influenced by Marx and Freud, he later turned towards religious and spiritual inspiration. During his time at Oxford, Auden played a central role in the "Oxford Group" or "Auden Generation", along with fellow writers Stephen Spender, C. Day Lewis, and Louis MacNeice.
