The modernist from Maine

Article Abstract:

Poet Edwin Arlington Robinson was quite popular until his death in 1935, in part because of the brevity of many of his poems. Robinson was able to tell a long story in verse and have it make sense. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his works, and is often regarded as one of America's greatest unrecognized poets.
