David Gascoyne (1916-2001), poet, surrealist, and anti-fascist, “much more than an avant-garde theoretician and practitioner, Gascoyne was arguably the major English religious poet of the second half of the twentieth century. He articulated the human condition profoundly, yet with visionary clarity, wrestling with the pain consistent with living in the modern world” (ODNB)
