High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Randall Jarrell (6 May 1914 ? 14 October 1965) was an American poet, literary critic, children's author, essayist, and novelist. He was the 11th Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. His first collection of poetry, Blood from a Stranger, which was heavily influenced by W.H. Auden, was published in 1942 ? the same year he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps. He spent a brief time working as a pilot, but soon switched to working as an aviation instructor. His second and third books, Little Friend, Little Friend (1945) and Losses (1948), drew heavily on his Army experiences. It was in these books that Jarrell broke free of Auden's influence and developed his own style and poetic philosophy which he would later document in his critical essays. "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" is the most famous of Jarrell's war-poems and one that is frequently anthologized. It presents the soldier as innocent and child-like, placing blame for war on "the State."
