Powell & Kevin Prufer, editors. Warrensburg, Mo.: Pleiades Press, 2010, stated FIrst Pleiades Press printing, and 1st printing number line ending in 1, 183pp., . Series: Unsung masters series Largely unknown today, Dunstan Thompson was once one of the most celebrated young poets in America. Published during and shortly after WWII, his often harrowing, homoerotic poems--many set on the battlefields and in the hospitals of the European Theater-were compared favorably to the work of W. H. Auden, Hart Crane, and Dylan Thomas. Then, as far as the general public was concerned, Dunstan Thompson disappeared. In a series of essays, interviews, letters, and clippings, this book traces Thompson's journey from a wildly successful literary enfant terrible, through his strong Catholic reawakening, and into his later years as a writer of mature, meditative, largely unpublished poetry. The first in Pleiades Press' Unsung Masters Series devoted to great out-of-print writers, this book also includes a selection of Thompson's very best poetry. - CONTENTS: Introduction / Kevin Prufer -- A folio of poems / Dunstan Thompson -- An interview with Philip Trower -- What became of Dunstan Thompson? / Edward Field -- Memories of Dunstan Thompson, a letter / Sanford Gifford -- Lovelorn at first read: on discovering Dunstan Thompson: an essay / Kolt Beringer -- A folio of images [from the collection of Philip Trower]-- Clippings from Vice Versa -- Revisitng Vice Versa: an essay / Dana Gioia -- Battles in the boudoir: Thompson's intimate metaphors of war: an essay / Heather Treseler -- Dunstan Thompson's "Beautiful and butcher beast" unleashed and on the prowl: an essay / Jim Elledge -- "I can only promise poems": finding Dunstan Thompson: an essay / Katie Ford -- "Again in all his poor": Dunstan Thompson's incarnational theology: an essay / Jerry Harp -- A phoenix in a desert: an essay / Philip Trower.
