Autorenporträt
Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) was a distinguished American poet who won three Pulitzer Prizes during his lifetime. Born in Alna, Maine, Robinson grew up during a period of family turmoil that would later influence the themes of personal struggle and societal constraints evident in his poetry. He attended Harvard University, though he did not complete his degree, and his formal education in literature helped shape his craft. Robinson's work is characterized by his use of traditional verse forms, his mastery of dramatic monologue, and a sparse, realistic portrayal of life in early 20th century America.nnOne of his well-known collections is 'The Three Taverns: A Book of Poems' (1920), which further exhibited Robinson's skills in capturing the complexities of human nature and emotion. His poetry was noted for its dark sophistication and often explored the inner lives of rural and small-town characters, delving into themes such as the passage of time, the nature of beauty, and the pursuit of truth. Robinson's evocative language and profound insights solidify his place as a central figure in American poetry, bridging the 19th-century tradition with modernist sensibilities. His contributions to American literature are celebrated for their poignant depiction of New England landscapes and personalities, making him a significant voice in the cannon of American poetry.
