The Death of Galahad is one long poem. In it the Arthurian hero Galahad is a compromised contemporary of European man who is voyaging through Hell. His heroines, his army, his critics and his antagonists also inhabit the poem, in which the sordid and the sacred meet, the anxieties and conflicts of a failed modernity and a future ideal undergo furious trial, and the mind of a young man battles for new vision through ordeals and temptations, seeking a marriage of light and hope.
