Boss Cupid Thom Gunn Main edition
Boss Cupid
Thom Gunn
The poems are written under the sign of Cupid, 'devious master of our bodies', but their intimacies are always heard against the sociable human hum of an entire community which Gunn depicts in poems of fluent grace, as formal as they are relaxed.
