Ansen was Auden’s student at the New School between November, 1946 and May, 1947, and then served as the poet’s secretary and amanuensis. He kept a record of his conversations with Auden. “In the tradition of Hester Thrale’s Johnsoniana, or Eckermann’s Geothe, these conversations—though they are really monologues—record the private, extemporaneous and often outrageous musings of one of the great poets of our century” (prospectus).
