Because his poetry did not receive recognition until 1954 – the year before his death – he continued to work as Vice­President of Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company until his death.
Because his poetry did not receive recognition until 1954 – the year before his death – he continued to work as Vice­President of Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company until his death. This is ironic considering today he is considered one of the most significant American poets of the 20th century. His first book of poems, Harmonium, appeared when he was 44  years old. FTP, identify this poet of "Early Sunday Morning," "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," and "The Emperor of Ice­Cream."
