The Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1968 to 1972 edited what Louis MacNeice poem?
June Thunder June Thunder is a 28-line poem by Louis MacNeice. It was first published in book form in MacNeice's poetry collection The Earth Compels (1938). The poem begins with memories of idyllic summer days in the countryside - "the unenduring / Joys of a season" - before returning to the present and "impending thunder". "June Thunder" is written in a loose form of the sapphic stanza, with three lines set in falling rhythm followed by a shorter fourth line. The poem was anthologised in "A New Anthology of Modern Verse 1920-1940" (1941), edited by Cecil Day-Lewis and L.A.G. Strong, and "Penguin New Writing" No. 2 (January 1941).
