Born in the USA - Exploring American Poems. The North-East Poets
()
About this ebook
Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.
Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.
In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades.
The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy.
Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art. Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.
In this volume we explore the poets and poems of the nation’s North-East. This fascinating area includes the states of New England, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. With the talents of Louisa May Alcott, Stephen Crane, Ralph Waldo Emerson, H P Lovecraft, Amy Lowell, Edward Arlington Robinson and Elinor Wylie are but a few of the many talents this region has raised to international prominence.
Stephen Crane
Stephen Crane (1871-1900) was an American poet and author. Along with his literary work, Crane was a journalist, working as a war correspondent in both Cuba and Greece. Though he lived a short life, passing away due to illness at age twenty-eight, Crane’s literary work was both prolific and highly celebrated. Credited to creating one of the earliest examples of American Naturalism, Crane wrote many Realist works and decorated his prose and poetry with intricate and vivid detail.
