 Al Gelpi on poet C. Day Lewis: 6/10/98
Day Lewis often sat in on Gelpi's classes to learn about such modern American poets as Wallace Stevens, Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, and the two became good friends, along with Gelpi's fiance and future wife, Barbara Charlesworth Gelpi, Stanford professor of English.
By the time Day Lewis' Complete Poems were published in 1992, on the 20th anniversary of his death, Gelpi had spent a number of summers at the British Library reading up on the literary, social and political ambiance of the 1930s and '40s in such journals as New Verse and the Left Review.
Gelpi argues that Day Lewis set out to write poems that were modern in diction, rhythm and imagery and that could respond to the political and economic plight of postwar industrial England.
