Beskrivelse
This volume introduces the collected poetry of Lewis Thompson to the contemporary world. On 19 June 1949, Lewis Thompson was found wandering dazed and penniless by the Ganges River. Taken to a small room, he languished for two days, writing the last entry in his journal and his last poem, Black Flower, before lapsing into a coma. He died alone in Benares on 21 June 1949. Thompson's work is deeply spiritual, lush with Hindu imagery and informed by classical Western scholarship. Sensitive, mystical and erotic, the poetry addresses dreams, God and beautiful young men.
