| Poet, born in Head Tide, Maine, USA. He was brought up in the town of Gardiner, Maine, which provided the background for ‘Tilbury Town’, the fictional New England village setting of his best poetry. He studied at Harvard, and went to New York City to find work. He made his name with an early collection of poetry The Children of the Night (1897), and was three times a Pulitzer prizewinner, for his Collected Poems (1922), The Man Who Died Twice (1924), and Tristram (1927), one of his several modern renditions of Arthurian legends. |
