“My favorite American poet, Hart Crane, destroyed himself at 32. Despite his truncated career, Crane stands with Whitman and Stevens at the apex of our national poetry. I have loved Crane’s poetry for three-quarters of a century, since I received an immortal wound when I first read him at the age of 10.”↗
