Several poems were revised especially for their first book publication. The collection is shaped by a predominantly Grecian influence, blending classical and modern imagery, often using ancient settings to illuminate modern human life.

toilluminate modern man.The moods areas varied as the subjects,but the per-spective is always personal-the lan-guage that of a master.Durrell playswith time as beautifully as he does withwords:he twirls the centuries to makehis point.These are short poems all,and the collection is small,but the rangecovered is wide,and the ideas and im-agery fascinating.  \n# THE IKONSand other poems\n\nbooks
