Poems is the title of three separate collections of the early poetry of W. H.
Auden. Auden refused to title his early work because he wanted the reader to
confront the poetry itself. Consequently, his first book was called simply
Poems when it was printed by his friend and fellow poet Stephen Spender in
1928 he used the same title for the very different book published by
Faber & Faber in 1930 second edition 1933, and by Random House in
1934 which also included The Orators and The Dance of Death.
The privately-printed 1928 edition of Poems was produced in an edition of
about 45 copies as its limitation page obscurely states.
It is one of the great rarities of twentieth century literature.
A gang is a group of people who through the organization, formation, and
establishment of an assemblage share a common identity. In current usage it
typically denotes a criminal organization or else a criminal affiliation.
In early usage, the word gang referred to a group of workmen. In the
United Kingdom the word is still often used in this sense, but it later underwent
pejoration.
The word gang often carries a negative connotation; however, within a gang
which defines itself in opposition to mainstream norms, members may adopt the
phrase as a statement of identity or defiance.
Bonnie Parker wrote two poems while she and Clyde Barrow were on the
run from the law. This poem, the Story of Suicide Sal, was the first of the two.
The second poem is The Story of Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie wrote this poem
while she was held in the Kaufman jail in spring 1932. The poem was published
in newspapers after it was found during the raid on Bonnie and Clyde's hideout in
Joplin, Missouri on April 13, 1933.
