His poem "Sympathy for Hitler" although controversial, is in fact a plea for greater understanding of the causes of genocide in order that they may be prevented in the future. Considered influenced by Wordsworth's political sonnets of the early nineteenth century, typically "I Grieved for Buonaparte" (1801)
