REVIEWS OF HART CRANE'S BOOKS: White Buildings ". . . most of the time it is incomprehensible so far as the actual thought-content goes. Yet the line structure is so beautiful in itself, the images so vividly conceived, and the general aura of poetry so indelibly felt that the intelligent reader will move pleasurably among the impenetrable nuances." The Bridge "Since to the mind of the present writer cubism, whatever value it may have for painting, is wholly valueless in poetry, 'The Bridge,' nevertheless, remains for him, in spite of its glitter and its seeming intellectual importance, a piece that is in the main spurious as poetry." The Collected Poems of Hart Crane "The fact that the bridge could not uphold him is manifest in his later poems. But he was a gesture and a pulse of our modern times and his 'Collected Poems' is not an unimportant book. It is a testament of the broken vision of America and a promise for the future when our intellectual strength will support our emotional chaos."

W ith that odd mixture of verbal genius and sheer bumpkinship that he so distinctively embodied from the beginning, Hart Crane plundered and ransacked the English language, especially the diction and vocabulary of the Elizabethans, like a buccaneer let loose in the royal treasure chamber. The verses he composed for his lover, the Danish sailor Emil Opffer, probably around 1925, testify to this fiercely confiscatory impulse, at once tender and swashbuckling: In all the argosy of your bright hair I dreamed Nothing so flagless as this piracy.

C L A Y T O N E S H L E M A N STANZA BY STANZA GLOSS OF HART CRANE'S “LACHRYMAE CHRISTI” The title: “Lachrymae Christi” (The Tears of Christ) is a dryish pale golden wine, made from the grapes grown along the southern slope of Mount Vesuvius in south-west Italy in the state of Campania. The Neapolitans claim that the Saviour, looking down one day on the citadel of wickedness that Naples had become, shed a tear which fell on Mount Vesuvius, where a vine sprang up (the wine has nothing in common with the sweet dessert wine from Malaga, Spain, by the same name). Thus, both Christ and Dionysus, as dying/reviving gods are summoned in the title, which also implies resurrection. Embedded in the title as well is a sense in which Christ's blood and suffering are to be transformed into Dionysian celebration. Whitely, while benzine Rinsings from the moon Dissolve all but the windows of the mills (Inside the sure machinery Is still And curdled only where a sill Sluices its one unyielding smile) Stanza 1: “benzine” is a key word for the entire poem. As a volatile flammable distillate it not only conjures fermentation and distillation, but fire, and ignites a long fuse that will burn through the poem to contact the “tinder” in the one line 5 th stanza and then burst into flame in the 7 th , as “lattices of flame.” Whitely (that is, purely, blankly, and voidly), the moon cleanses the world of human industry—almost. Even though the building (a mill evoking grinding labor) is dissolved, the lower part of the window still smiles evilly at the speaker—a smile that will not yield to “the benzine rinsings.” Note the double rhyme in this phrase, which must have appealed to Crane and possibly, sound-wise, led him to the juxtaposition.

Hart Crane (1899-1932) Contributing Editor: Margaret Dickie Classroom Issues and Strategies I set Crane in the context of Pound and Eliot where students can see the ambitions he shared with his fellow modernists to "make it new," to write a poem including history, even to define the role of the poet as a cultural spokesman. And, in that context, I try to distinguish the larger concerns of his career that set him apart from his fellow poets; his interest in the "logic of metaphor" as making it new, his focus on American rather than world history, and his search to find his identity in his role as a poet, all indicate how he reinterpreted the modernist program to suit his own purposes. I urge students, who may have been reading Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot through the footnotes to their poems, to abandon that approach to Crane and to concentrate instead on those elements they find most perplexing in his work: the language, the experience, and the dislocated references. Central to any discussion of Crane is his role as a homosexual poet. Quite apart from the task of placing him in the modernist movement, students will need to understand Crane's sense of himself as a figure marginalized both by his chosen profession as a poet in a capitalist economy and by his sexual identity as a homosexual in the ideology of literary and cultural authority that made, as Thomas Yingling has suggested, "homosexuality an inadmissible center from which to write about American life" (27). I introduce Crane with "Black Tambourine" and "Chaplinesque" where he identifies the poet with the "black man" and the tramp in order to show how he felt himself marginalized; and, as part of the discussion, I try to indicate also how he was willing to appropriate such marginal figures for his own use without much regard to their own status. In this respect, "Black Tambourine" can be compared to

Hart Crane and The Bridge by Darran Anderson April 3, 2003 3:34 pm BIOGRAPHY POETRY Even in a life constantly teetering on the edge and possessed by moments of genius, there was no more spectacular day in the life of Hart Crane than the day he left this world. The facts are that over 70 years ago, the poet was on the SS Orizaba , a ship traveling 275 miles north east of Havana from Mexico to New York. It was there he drank copious amounts of alcohol, and after several violent outbursts, had to be locked in his cabin. It is said he was in such a fierce state that the door had to be nailed shut. Somehow, against all odds Crane managed to escape and was seen heading for the sailor’s quarters in search of “the secret oar and petals of love” which translates from Crane-speak as a hefty bout of buggering. He was found later that night beaten up and relieved of his valuables. The next morning, he visited his companion and sometime lover Peggy Cowley, who at the time was trying to “rescue” him from the terrible affliction that he happened to be attracted to people of the same sex. His last words to her were “I’m not going to make it dear, I’m utterly disgraced.” With this he left, and was seen at the boat’s stern where he approached the railing in an overcoat under the midday sun. He removed this and, in his pajamas, leapt over the side and was last seen swimming strongly towards the horizon. Lifeboats were sent out to search for him but returned empty-handed. His body was never found. The ship’s captain, a man called Blackadder (clearly not skilled in the art of bereavement diplomacy), said, “If the propellers didn’t grind him to mincemeat then the sharks would have got him immediately.”

Born in 1899 to a father who was never reconciled to Hart's poetic vocation, and to a mother who was always a forceful, domineering presence in his life, Crane was keen to escape Garretsville, Ohio as soon as he could. In 1923, he leapt into the open arms of New York City (for him 'the centre of the world today'). There he attempted to ingratiate himself into the buzzing cultural world that he found. He wrote letters, set up meetings and poured praise upon some of the most important figures of the time including: the photographers Alfred Steiglitz and Walker Evans; the poets Marianne Moore and Jean Toomer; the critic Waldo Frank; the playwright Eugene O'Neill and the artist Georgia O'Keefe. Faustus and Helen: ' the imagination spans beyond despair Even before his arrival in New York, Crane had made something of a mark with his poem 'For the Marriage of Faustus and Helen', a three-part lyric poem based on the play

Harold Hart Crane was born in Garrettsville, Ohio, on July 21, 1899, the only son of Grace Hart Crane, an intelligent, sensitive woman, and C. A. Crane, a success-driven businessman. The poet's childhood was materially secure but emotionally difficult. Sponsor Message. When Harold was five, the family moved to Warren, Ohio, where they lived until domestic conflicts drove Grace into a sanitarium and C. A. to Chicago; nine-year-old Harold was sent to his mother's parents in Cleveland. Grace returned in 1909, and C. A. later rejoined her at the Hart house, where they lived on uneasy terms until their divorce in 1916, the year that Harold, at seventeen, set off for New York City. He later confessed to Grace: "my youth has been a rather bloody battleground for yours and father's sex life and troubles." Still, he sympathized so strongly with her that in 1917 he chose to call himself "Hart." Although he eventually reconciled with his father, his relationship with his mother slowly deteriorated. He finally broke with her in 1928 after she threatened to tell C. A. about his homosexuality and tried to block a $5,000 inheritance left to him by his grandparents.
