Tag: American poets

I did my undergraduate degree at Vermont College in poetry, my exploration there of the genre of writing satisfying, particularly all the knowledge I gained about American poets I write about on The Diary of an Improvateur.

Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote “There Isn’t a Train I Wouldn’t Take.” I share her love of riding the rails and during one trek to Croton-on-Hudson, I pay homage to the poet who met her husband Eugen there one fateful summer. One of my favorite cultural institutions in New York City is the Morgan Library & Museum. One bitter January night, I made my way there to hear Paul Auster speak about the influence Edgar Allan Poe had had on his writing. It was worth the effort even in the brutal cold.

Frank O’Hara was a prolific poet and I delve into his mid-century era in a post celebrating furniture inspired by that time. The New York School of Poets, of which he was a member, were important figures in the development of a poetry that is uniquely American. I present so many other poets here on the blog so I hope you’ll stop by and enjoy the ways in which I present them.
