Abstract

Beckett's poetry is often neglected in spite of its importance for the evolution of his writing. The author's interest in the elements is studied here in his poetics of the 1930s, and particularly in an important letter to his friend Thomas MacGreevy. This letter forms the starting point for an analysis of Beckett's early poems and his collection . Among the elements, earth and sky/air, reinterpreted through the dichotomy of inside/outside, are of special interest in this context.
