Book excerpt: Arguing that homo-erotic poetry is part of the mainstream of poetic writing - not a distinct and differentiated category within it - Gregory Woods provides a fastidious study of gay poetry in the twentieth century that emphasizes homo-erotic theme in the work of D.H. Lawrence, Hart Crane, W.H. Auden, Allen Ginsberg and Thom Gunn. Wood's controlled and elegant study demonstrates that a critic who ignores the sexual orientation of a poet, particularly a love poet, risks overlooking the significance of the poetry itself.
