Hart Crane

Hart Crane (1899 - 1932) is one of America's most influential poets of the 20th century - whose influence has endured to the present day. He stands out from the Modernists by being also a Romantic. His voice is consistently authentic - unlike that of others of his time. There is always something to find in his poetry - a modern poet and critic said: 'Crane is always with me...' Neil Root's Hart Crane shows why this can be so.
