Mainly remembered as a World War II poet who died in Normandy three days after D-day, Keith Douglas demonstrated a rapidly maturing energy and simplicity of diction through his descriptions of war-time Cairo and contemplations of death. The only complete collection of his poetry available, this volume contains 105 poems with a section of notes that provides the source, place of first publication, and a record of substantial variations from other versions for each poem.

First published in 1978, it eventually reappeared in Oxford Poets in 1987, by which time this edition had firmly established Keith Douglas as by far the most talented and interesting poet of the Second World War, one who had achieved this considerable body of work before he was killed in Normandy in June 1944 three days after D-Day, aged only twenty-four.
