Published by Faber & Faber in 1947, this seminal work by W. H. Auden captures the existential uncertainty of the post-war era. Through a complex structure of alliterative verse, the poem explores the psychological isolation of four strangers meeting in a wartime New York City bar. It remains a definitive exploration of mid-century human condition and spiritual malaise.
