Empson has long been applauded for the dazzling intelligence and emotional passion of his poems. Praised in his lifetime by the likes of T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas and John Betjeman, his reputation contines to be high.
His poems take a wide range of themes from metaphysics to melancholy, social climbing to political satire, and from love to loss.
