Thorn Gunn (1929-2004) has been an important member of poets that are now known as The Movement poets. Thorn Gunn's distinction from Charles Tomlinson, Donald Davie, Elizabeth Jennings and others is his celebration of brute energy which brings him very close to Ted Hughes. This book is a pioneering attempt to introduce a movement poet in India for the first time. It offers threadbare analysis of Thorn Gunn's poetry in the light of a general assessment of what has The Movement been like.
