John Wain does many things very well, as the record clearly indicates: eight different novels, two earlier collections of short stories, four big volumes of poetry, and three excellent books of criticism. He has also written the first installment
of an autobiography, Sprightly Running. Born in Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England, he is well known in this country ( as he is at home) as a poet and essayist and as a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books.
