Thom Gunn fue un poeta anglo-estadounidense aclamado por sus primeros versos en Inglaterra y su obra posterior en Estados Unidos. Su estilo evolucionó de estructuras más formales hacia un enfoque de verso libre más suelto. Tras trasladarse a San Francisco, Gunn exploró temas de la vida gay, el consumo de drogas, el sexo y su existencia bohemia. Su escritura se caracteriza por su franqueza y su aguda observación de la experiencia humana.
