Love, Eros, scenes of ancient and modern Asia, the nature of acting and theatre all have their part in Puer Poems, a collection of verse in the shadow of the Puer archetype first defined by Jung. These poems which when first composed engaged the serious attention and praise of such figures in the arts as poet and critic Kathleen Raine and Shakespearean actor Dorothy Tutin, anticipate elements of its author's subsequent work in poetic drama and the groundbreaking research of "A Special Illumination" on the nature of gay spirituality. An introductory essay explains the aim of the collection, tells some strange stories associated with its composition and reception, and offers controversial views about the nature and status of poetry today.
