With his biography, Donaldson returns this remarkable talent to the pantheon of great American poets and sheds new light on his enduring legacy.We used to find faith and comfort in organized religion: "Young Adults around the World Are Less Religious." Pew Research Center's Religion & Public Life Project. Robinson was a major poet and a pivotal figure in the course of modern American literature, yet over the years his reputation has declined. In simple yet powerful rhetoric, he explored the interior worlds of the people around him. He was the first to write about ordinary people and events-an honest butcher consumed by grief, a miser with "eyes like little dollars in the dark," ancient clerks in a dry goods store measuring out their days like bolts of cloth. Struggling through long years of poverty and neglect, he achieved a voice and a subject matter all his own. He regarded writing poems as nothing less than his calling-what he had been put on earth to do. Still, it was always poetry that drove him. Despite his shyness, Robinson made many close friends, and he repeatedly went out of his way to give them his support and encouragement. Robinson never married, but he fell in love as many as three times, most lastingly with the woman who would become his brother Herman's wife. In this biography, Scott Donaldson tells the intriguing story of this poet's life, based in large part on a previously unavailable trove of more than 3,000 personal letters, and recounts his profoundly important role in the development of modern American literature.īorn in 1869, the youngest son of a well-to-do family in Gardiner, Maine, Robinson had two brothers: Dean, a doctor who became a drug addict, and Herman, an alcoholic who squandered the family fortune. At the time of his death in 1935, Edwin Arlington Robinson was regarded as the leading American poet-the equal of Frost and Stevens.
