Gay Love Poetry Neil Powell
This is a wide-ranging collection of gay love poetry - by and for men - ranging from ancient Greece and Rome to contemporary England and America. Organized thematically, it stretches from Catullus, Virgil and Ovid right up to modern writers such as Thom Gunn, Mark Doty and Gregory Woods, and including translations of essential European and other texts. Editor Neil Powell also includes poems which may not have been conceived as gay love poetry by their authors, but which have certainly come to be perceived as such by readers.
