W.H. Auden (1907â1973) was an influential English-American poet known for his versatile and innovative writing. His works encompass a wide range of themes, including love, politics, society, and the human condition. Auden's poetry blends formal techniques with modernist sensibilities, and he was celebrated for his intellectual depth and keen social critique. Notable works include "The Age of Anxiety," which won the Pulitzer Prize, and "Funeral Blues," a poignant meditation on loss.
