Auden , first published under the title Look, Stranger in the UK in 1936, then published under Auden s preferred title, On this Island , in the US in 1937. The book contains thirty one poems.

The title of Auden s typescript was Thirty One Poems . Auden s UK publisher Faber & Faber asked him to supply a better title, but he was traveling in Iceland and inaccessible, so the publisher titled the book Look, Stranger Auden disliked the title and asked his American publisher Random House to title the book On This Island . The book is dedicated to Erika Mann . A song cycle of the same name by Benjamin Britten sets five of Auden s poems. References John Fuller poet John Fuller , W. H. Auden A Commentary 1999 .
