Westan Hugh Auden

Wystan Hugh Auden (English: Wystan Hugh Auden, February 21, 1907 - September 29, 1973, most of his works were published as W. H. Auden), a British-American poet who is considered one of the important poets of the 20th century. Auden was born in York in 1907 and grew up in Birmingham. He became famous in the 1930s for his "Selected Poems" (Poems) and immigrated to the United States in 1939. During the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, he traveled in China and co-authored the book "War Travels" with Christopher Isherwood. He obtained American citizenship in 1946 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1947 with his poem "The Age of Anxiety". From 1956 to 1961, he taught poetry at his alma mater, Oxford University. He developed relationships with many male poets such as Christopher Isherwood and Chester Cullman. But while he was alive, he was still regarded as the second-most English poet of the 20th century after Yeats and T. S. Eliot, and in later generations his reputation tended to surpass them.
