Contributors

W. H. Auden (1907–1973) was born in North Yorkshire, England, the son of a doctor. He studied at Oxford and published his first book, Poems, in 1930, immediately establishing himself as one of the outstanding voices of his generation. Auden emigrated to New York in 1939, where he became a US citizen and converted to Anglicanism. He wrote essays, critical studies, plays, and opera librettos for such composers as Benjamin Britten, Igor Stravinsky, and Hans Werner Henze, as well as the poems for which he is most famous.

D. J. Enright's books include The Alluring Problem, Fields of Vision, Collected Poems 1948—1998, and, most recently, Interplay: A Kind of Commonplace Book. (August 2000)

Alfred Kazin's most recent book is God and the American Writer. (April 1998)
