As part of my exploration of mid-century literature I have been reading W. H. Auden and I am struggling to pull anything substantial out of it. I appreciate the language and the imagery it evokes, but it seems, to me, to be too surrealistic to communicate any particular theme or even emotion. Is this a known characteristic of his early work? I’m reading him in chronological order.
I feel like I’m missing a key to how to read Auden before I can understand what he is trying to communicate. Do I need to be reading him while drunk or high? It’s like someone rapidly switch channels on a TV. A series of evocative images but seemingly unrelated to each other. I get strong TS Eliot vibes but without the culture references as guideposts.
Any suggestions?

Have waited all summer for this. Have contacted magazine with no luck. Very upset and frustrated. #writinglife
