A. S. J. Tessimond Libri

    Arthur Tessimond fu un poeta inglese la cui opera è caratterizzata da una poesia acuta, elegante e urbana. Come imagista, Tessimond si concentrò su un linguaggio preciso e immagini chiare, che spesso riflettevano le sue esperienze personali e i suoi stati mentali. La sua poesia, pur comparendo su riviste letterarie già negli anni '20, ottenne un riconoscimento più ampio solo postumo. La prospettiva unica e la maestria letteraria di Tessimond continuano a renderlo una figura avvincente della poesia inglese moderna.

      Arthur Seymour John Tessimond - Jack to his family, John in later life - was born in Birkenhead in 1902 and made his living as an advertising copywriter, but his true writing life was in poetry, three volumes of which he published in his The Walls of Glass (1934), Voices in a Giant City (1947), and Selection (1958). Tessimond died in May 1962, two months shy of his sixtieth birthday, and it would fall to Hubert Nicholson, his friend and executor, to make a posthumous selection of his work including a number of uncollected and unpublished poems. Not Love Perhaps (1978) has at its heart the memorable title piece which contrasts the idea of romantic love 'that many waters cannot quench' with the notion of a mutual companionship that enables two people to 'walk more firmly through dark narrow places'.
