This is an automatically translated description

Weston Hugh Auden (1907-1973) was already recognised as a major poetic figure of his generation in the 1930s, at the very beginning of his career. Today, we can say more with certainty: he is one of the most brilliant poets of the twentieth century who wrote in English.

His name is placed on a par with such great names as William Butler Yeats and Thomas Sterns Eliot, but, unlike the latter, Auden has been unfairly little translated into Ukrainian. So this collection of poems and essays is an attempt to fill, at least in part, a considerable and unfortunate translation gap.
