註釋Rather, Ewart is best represented as what Edward Mendelson, in his book Early Auden, has referred to as the "civil" poet, one who eschews obscurity and the aloofness of the prophet in order to speak clearly to as broad an audience as possible. Ewart's frequent whimsicality masks an overarching serious attitude; namely, that poetry should be a natural, though extraordinary, extension of the everyday life and language of ordinary men and women. The book is divided into two major parts, treating the poetry of the earlier and later phases of Ewart's career. Each of these parts is introduced by a chapter containing a variety of background information.
