| biography:
| Poet and novelist, born in Arlington, Massachusetts, USA. He studied for a while at Harvard, then worked at a variety of jobs until he began to write. Influenced by the Black Mountain school, he developed a spare, minimalist style evident in For Love: Poems 1950–60 (1960). His manner becomes even more fragmentary in later volumes, notably Words (1965), Pieces (1969), Hello: A Journal (1978), and Memory Gardens (1986). Life and Death and The Dogs of Auckland appeared in 1998. |
