About This Book

A compact critical biography follows the poet's life from childhood and college through academic appointments and a sustained literary career, tracing the development of his craft and ambitions. The author draws on manuscript correspondence, college papers, and early unpublished writings to illuminate formative years, personal relationships, and the growth of a preference for American subjects and varied verse forms. The narrative combines chronological biography with close readings of early pieces and consideration of stylistic influences, showing how language study, travel, and editorial work contributed to the shaping of major narrative poems and a distinct national literary voice.
