W. H. Auden

Died: 29 September 1973

Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, England, on February 21, 1907. In 1928, Auden’s collection, Poems, was privately printed, but it wasn’t until 1930, when another collection titled Poems (though its contents were different) was published, that Auden was established as the leading voice of a new generation. Ever since, Auden has been admired for his unsurpassed technical virtuosity and an ability to write poems in nearly every imaginable verse form. He died in Vienna on September 29, 1973. (Source)
