Unicorns, Almost

Unicorns, Almost tells the life story of Keith Douglas from his early childhood to his fighting in the Western desert as a tank commander; his accelerated education as a poet to his early death three days after the D-Day landings in Normandy at age 24.

Marking the outbreak of WWII for its 80th anniversary, this is the story of one man’s Faustian pact with a war which would both gift his penetrating poetic voice, and then take it away.
