		On 15 January 1943, Douglas was wounded in action at Wadi Zem Zem, and was sent to Palestine to recover.
		Released from hospital, Douglas rejoined his regiment in Egypt and, later, in Tunisia (where he was promoted to captain), but he took no further part in the fighting, which finally ended on 14 May 1943.
		Douglas became involved with publisher's assistant Betty Jesse, who also recognised an urgency in him, founded on his extremely strong belief that he was going to be killed.

		Keith Douglas wrote a poetry boasting an incantatory and muscular lyricism that few others of his generation matched.
		Keith Douglas was the greatest English poet of the Second World War, which admittedly isn't saying a hell of a lot, as there were few others who even came close.
		Douglas' best poems, which frankly number around half a dozen, introduce a new note into English poetry that wouldn't be picked up until Sylvia Plath had a crack at it more than fifteen years later.

	[minstrels] Vergissmeinnicht -- Keith Douglas
		Douglas is the exception: like Owen, he distinguished himself on the front lines (thus achieving a moral stature which enabled him to criticize the carnage around him); like Owen, his poetry has a universality which speaks to readers removed from its immediate context; and like Owen, he was killed in action.
		Douglas' verse itself, though, is quite different from Owen's; where the latter is a blend of (barely-restrained) outrage and compassion, the former's "unquiet intensity" has been compared to the Metaphysicals - detached and clinical on the surface [1], yet deeply thought-out and meaning-laden.
		From: "Andrew Horsfield" Keith Douglas was a poet soldier, in itself fascinatibgly unusual.

	Hectic Stasis: The War Poetry of Keith Douglas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Douglas wrote another essay on the Yellow Book in 1943, just after his first experience of battle and his first attempt to write war poetry.
		Douglas puts the morale-building rhetoric of a city under bombardment -- 'London can Take it' (PM, 127) -- in derogatory upper-case; that is not the method of his art, he claims, for 'To be sentimental or emotional now is dangerous to oneself and to others' (PM, 128).
		In those warscapes where the frenzy is statuesque, where the tone is accordingly composed, Douglas affirms his control in the face of violence -- emotional as well as physical violence -- and affords the reader the opportunity of an equally dispassionate response.

	KEITH DOUGLAS
		Keith Douglas was born in Kent, and educated at Oxford University under the tutorship of poet Edward Blunden, before enlisting with the British Army when World War II broke out.
		His verse is precise, unsentimental and at times chilling, in its treatment of desire and sexuality as well as in its pervasive obsession with death and the relation of death to writing.
		Douglas was killed in Normandy, having also written about his involvement in the war in North Africa, his slim but intensely powerful corpus concluded at an early age.

		From the murder of the "Black" James Douglas by James II, through to the murder of James III by the "Red" Douglases, there was much that was cruel and inhuman in the history of these two great families.

		In discussing ‘Russians’ he speaks of Douglas retreating into a protective insensitivity, and ‘drawing a grim virtuosity from designedly bad writing, proving with each false tone his refusal to make contact with the scene he described’.
		Douglas Graham nowhere establishes the importance of discriminate feeling to Douglas’s achievement, though he does finally bring it into focus in a good discussion of ‘Aristocrats’, in which he shows how Douglas builds his compassion ‘out of a sharply evaluative irony’.
		Lewis, like Douglas, eschewed a staff job and sought the experience of action: and just as Douglas felt compassion for the fellahin of Egypt, so Lewis sympathised strongly with the peasants of India and detested the pretensions of the British Raj.

	Keith Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Keith Douglas Scott (born 20 July 1954) is a Canadian guitar player.
		Keith Scott was born in Vancouver, where his father played jazz piano and his mother sang occasionally.
		His own introduction to music was playing flute in a school orchestra: anecdotally, it said that he chose the flute because he lived quite far away from the school and didn’t want to drag a large instrument case around with him.

	Farewell by Keith Douglas (1920 - 1944): listen online to classic poems set to music
		Second world war poet and artist Keith Douglas (1920 - 1944) during his short life had several close female friends, but seemingly the great love of his life was the daughter of a former Chinese ambassador to Washington Yingcheng.
		Douglas who apparently on the outside exuded an air of strong self confidence was it seems in reality much less self assured and sought to disguise much of his self doubt by portraying a likeable brashness.
		It seems that Yingcheng found his emotional dependance upon her off putting and his several proposals of marriage were refused....He affectionately wrote poems and painted several watercolour portraits for Yingcheng.

		Here's what makes this book so interesting: Douglas was a student of literature, British, so his perspective on being a tanker in WWII reflects an insightful sensibility.
		Douglas is considered one of the finest war poets of WWII, but it's his descriptions of tank battles and the hot, concussive nature of it that is most memorable to me.
		This is the kind of war memoir that is often overlooked but rare in it's depth and scope.

		Before he was killed in Normandy in 1944, Keith Douglas had achieved a considerable body of work.
		He even recalls WH Auden's opinionated rhythms: "I praise a snakeskin or a stone: a bald head or a public speech I hate" ("Snakeskin and Stone".
		However, the key to the poetry of this very unEnglish poet, more of a Latin with his impulsive temperament, is contained in several loving translations of Arthur Rimbaud, which gives us a clue as to how the twentysomething tank commander perceived himself and his poetry.
