Thom Gunn était un poète anglo-américain célébré pour ses premiers vers en Angleterre et pour son œuvre ultérieure en Amérique. Son style a évolué de structures plus formelles vers une approche plus libre en vers blancs. Après s'être installé à San Francisco, Gunn a exploré des thèmes liés à la vie gay, à la consommation de drogues, au sexe et à son existence bohème. Son écriture est reconnue pour sa franchise et son observation perspicace de l'expérience humaine.
