 | | George Barker (1913-1991), a contemporary English writer and poet, is often categorized as a Romantic. | | | The essays include a draft of "A Note for Thomas Stearns Eliot" (box 1, folder 28), which was written in honor of Eliot's 60th birthday. | | | There is a good deal of high praise for some poets as well, including Dylan Thomas ("Poem in the Orange Wig," box 1, folder 30), T. Eliot, Tennyson, Auden, Pound, and others. |

| | It was as though he felt that the real George Barker, the man who had written the poems, was not altogether to be identified with this puppet who went through the comedy of reading them aloud. | | | It was a witty gang, and Barker was the life and soul of it. | | | Even in his public heyday, Barkerâs star was eclipsed by that of his one-year younger rival, Dylan Thomas, who incidentally seems never to have had a good word for him. |

| | Barker's outbursts of verbal and physical violence against his wives and lovers seem to have been accepted by them as a part of the necessary expression of the artistic temperament. | | | It is perhaps fitting that Barker - a good example of all that is possible through excess and the ego - will best be remembered as a character in a book by his lover, a book which he described as "a scream from the ovaries". | | | Thus, Barker makes "genuine if ineffectual attempts at reconciliation" with his first wife, Jessica, who suffered a "fugitive and cloistered virtue" in contrast to Barker's romantic "confusion". |

| | Barker responded with his own kind of apologia, as when he tells the young Anthony Thwaite (his later obituarist) that: ÒThe poet is the scapegoat who disguises himself as a scapegrace. | | | I'd asked George Barker a callow question about love and guilt and sin, themes that seemed to recur in his work. | | | The joy of reading Barker Ð and I find I dip into the Collected the way you look at bird books or catalogues Ð is the poems do nothing more than present moments of settled inevitability: this happened, this I saw, this is this. |

| | This biography could be said to trample a path for others to follow: it would be interesting, for example, to compare Barker’s very early verse with his contemporaries Auden and MacNeice, or discover more about the literary relationship between Barker and W. S.Graham, who plays a brief, but important role in his life. | | | Scattered throughout the book are passages of brief literary commentary on the poems Barker produced at the time, and Fraser is a knowledgeable guide to these. | | | Sustained criticism is not always evident, and would perhaps seem out of place, but commentaries on the poems of the 1940s are very useful, and Fraser is enlightening on why Barker chose to write children’s books later in his career, and how this fits in with the other poetry. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Barker, George |
| | George Barker, one of the neglected voices of the twentieth century, is a poet who is difficult to classify and has frequently been misunderstood. | | | The resulting discipline yielded dividends in the volumes News of the World (1950) and A Vision of Beasts and Gods (1954), in both of which the verse manifests an access in control, while sacrificing none of its vigour. | | | All of these themes come together in Anno Domini (1983), a passionate address to the absconded God of Catholic Europe, beseeching his mercy both on the poet himself and on an aberrant post-religious humanity. |

| | Barker's presentation of male sexuality in poetry evoked massed repressive forces, established to put down exactly that; the pioneering stance of him and Logue laid the way for a general upsurge of poetical male sexuality in the sixties, itself to some extent the groundwork for an upsurge of poetical female sexuality. | | | Supposing that the attributes which Barker gives his tormented voluptuaries (and himself) are like emblems, and the sinners are like saints in torment, points to the limitation of Barker's technique: lack of the virtues of empirical observation, which of course had been in dispute with allegorical and mannerist writing ever since the seventeenth century. | | | Connolly's sketches were at last psychologically convincing; Barker wasn't good at evoking other people's characters; as his scope as a love poet is limited by his inability to write about women; so that we get declamations about love, but no poems about living together. |

| | The first Barker loved to the bottom of his capacious and sometimes mawkish heart; the second relationship was altogether more awkward and feisty. | | | Another early supporter was WB Yeats, who chose poems by the young Barker for inclusion in his wilfully perverse Oxford Book of Modern Verse of 1935. | | | He also makes plain a fact that may not have been obvious to those who followed Barker's career during his lifetime, through almost half a century of collections of verse. |

| | While we flow along with Smart on the torrents of this not-quite-unrequited relationship with poet Barker, we learn that although love may be wrenching, it is certainly worth it, hence the expression: it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. | | | This book, as anyone well read enough to catch the link between the title and the line in T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland is made aware, is heavily dependent upon other poets and writers for its content and effect. | | | Indeed, the last page in the book contains two concluding allusions to a poem by Ezra Pound. |

| | This was a poet praised by Yeats and Eliot as one of the greats of the 20th century. | | | They were contemporaries but Thomas made the good career move of dying young. | | | They both had a way with adjectives, but whereas Barker piled on fancy long words like "multitudinous" Thomas used a subtle misplacement of common short words as in "not many then trod the rich and piling streets." They both wrote plays for radio around the same time. |
