Cecil Day-Lewis. 1904–1972. Cecil Day-Lewis has two contrasting claims on our attention. The first is as an archetypal poet of the 1930s, the first-born, last-named member of the Auden/Spender/Day-Lewis triad, and the only one of those three friends whose commitment to Marxism extended to joining and working for the Communist Party.
Cecil Day Lewis was an Irish poet and writer, later Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom. He is most remembered today for his own lyric poetry, his detective fiction written under the pseudonym Nicholas Blake, and for being the father of actor Daniel Day-Lewis.
