Edwin Arlington Robinson was born in Head Tide, Maine, on Dec. 22, 1869. He grew up in nearby Gardiner, which became the "Tilbury Town" of his poems. The story is told that for many months after his birth his parents called him "the baby" because they had not wanted a boy. The name "Edwin" was pulled from a hat by a stranger who happened to live in Arlington, Mass. Robinson hated his name, for it signified to him the accidental nature of man's fate. After studying at Harvard from 1891 to 1893, he returned to Gardiner. Robinson published his first volume of poetry

Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) American poet, born in Head Tide, Maine, and raised in the nearby town of Gardiner, the "Tilbury" of his poems. In 1897 he came to live in New York where he led a difficult life. Theodore Roosevelt who had liked The Children of Night secured for Robinson the post of clerk in the New York Custom House in 1905. In 1916 his collection The Man against the Sky finally established him as a poet of standing. His most productive years were the 1920s and the 1930s. His Collected Poems (1921) and The Man Who Died Twice (1924) were both awarded Pulitzer Prizes. He also wrote three Arthurian romances, Merlin Launcelot (1927) and Tristram (1927). His last book, King Jasper , with an introduction by Robert Frost, was published posthumously. In his poetry, the small-town tragedies he describes evoke E.L.Masters' Spoon River Anthology Miniver loved the days of old, When swords were bright and steeds were prancing; The vision of a warrior bold Would set him dancing. Miniver sighed for what was not

Like Edgar Lee Masters , he is known for short, ironic character studies of ordinary individuals. Unlike Masters, Robinson uses traditional metrics. Robinson's imaginary Tilbury Town, like Masters's Spoon River, contains lives of quiet desperation. Some of the best known of Robinson's dramatic monologues are "Luke Havergal" (1896), about a forsaken lover; "Miniver Cheevy" (1910), a portrait of a romantic dreamer; and "Richard Cory" (1896), a somber portrait of a wealthy man who commits suicide: Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim, And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked;

Born on December 22, 1869, in Head Tide, Maine. His family moved to Gardiner, Maine, in 1870, which was renamed "Tilbury Town" as it became the backdrop for many of Robinson's poems. Robinson described his childhood as stark and unhappy; he once wrote in a letter to Amy Lowell that he remembered wondering why he had been born at the age of six. After high school, Robinson spent two years studying at Harvard University as a special student and his first poems were published in the Harvard Advocate. Robinson privately printed and released his first volume of poetry

Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) Edwin Arlington Robinson was born on December 22, 1869, in Head Tide, Maine. He grew up in Gardiner, Maine. In 1891, Robinson entered Harvard University, but left after two years because of his father's illness. He had published two volumes of verse by 1899, when he went to New York City. He continued to write while he supported himself by various kinds of work. Through President Theodore Roosevelt, who became interested in his poetry, he got a position in the New York Customs House and worked there for several years. Although he received great critical acclaim during his lifetime, the Robinson was almost 50 years old before his poetry began to attract the attention of the public. He is remembered best for poems that depict the lives and personalities of small-town New Englanders like those he knew in his youth. Among Robinson's best-known poems are `Miniver Cheevy' , `Richard Cory', `Mr. Flood's Party', and `The Sheaves'. Volumes of poetry include `The Children of the Night', published in 1897, `The Town Down the River' (1910), `The Man Against the Sky' (1916), `Merlin' (1917), `Lancelot' (1920), `Collected Poems' (1921), `The Man Who Died Twice' (1924), `Dionysus in Doubt' (1925), `Tristram' (1927), `Sonnets' (1928), `The Glory of the Nightingales' (1930), `Nicodemus' (1932), and `Amaranth' (1934). The rest of Robinson's life was devoted to writing. For many years he summered at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, N.H., where much of his finest poetry was written. He was awarded the gold medal of the American Institute of Arts and Letters in 1929 and three times received a Pulitzer prize.

AUTHORS: Edwin Arlington Robinson Edwin Arlington Robinson Edwin Arlington Robinson grew up in Gardiner, Maine. Gardiner, which is located on the Kennebec River, once was an active seaport. Robinson's father had been a prosperous timber merchant, but after his sudden death, the family found itself poor. Two of Robinson's older brothers died at a young age, and Robinson's mother passed away following a long and painful illness. Robinson experienced a great deal of emotional turmoil in Gardiner, and only returned to the town he grew up in three times in later life. Two of those times he came back to attend the funerals of his brothers. The Robinson family's dwindling fortunes caused Edwin's college education at Harvard to be cut short after only two years. Edwin moved to Greenwich Village in New York shortly thereafter. During his tenure in Greenwich, he was so poor that he often could pack all his possessions into one suitcase. He became renowned for showing great sympathy for those who were dispossessed, lonely, and troubled. Robinson's poetry, which was originally published during the 1890's, fell prey to a disinterested American audience. He was forced to pay for the printing of his first two books, The Torrent and the Night Before and The Children of the Night. Friends of Robinson paid for the publication of his next book, Captain Craig, and President Theodore Roosevelt used his influence to effect the publication of a fourth, The Town Down the River. Robinson's poetry was awarded the Pulitzer Prize three times, in 1922, 1925, and 1928. During the 1920's, he was generally regarded as the greatest living American Poet.

And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich yes, richer than a king And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Edwin Arlington Robinson Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) was a poet of transition. He lived at the time following the Civil War when America was rebuilding and changing rapidly and when the dominant values of the country seemed to be growing increasingly materialistic. Robinson's poetry was transitional, evaluating the present by using traditional forms and by including elements of transcendentalism and Puritanism. Robinson spent his childhood in a small town in Maine, a town which furnished him a setting for many of his poems as well as models for his characters. His father was a prosperous merchant; his mother had been a schoolteacher. The parents were primarily interested in their two older sons and tended to ignore Edwin, though they recognized his exceptional intelligence. While fond of his family, Edwin felt himself an outsider among them, as he also felt alienated from the society of his town. Suddenly, with the poetic revival that preceded World War I, Robinson began to play a major role as a poet. After going his own way quietly for so many years, he became widely read and exerted a strong influence on other poets, notably Frost. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry three times in the 1920's, a record exceeded only by Frost, who received the prize four times in all. The core of Robinson's philosophy is the belief that man's highest duty is to develop his best attributes as fully as possible. Success is measured by the intensity and integrity of his struggle; failure consists only in a lack of effort. Robinson was most interested in people who had either failed spiritually, or who seemed failures to the world but had really succeeded in gaining spiritual wisdom. Despite his apparent pessimism he refused to subscribe to a naturalistic view of life. Being by nature introspective and conscious of psychological depths, he was acutely aware of the spiritual side of man and relatively uninterested in the surface aspects of man's life as a social creature.

Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) Edwin Arlington Robinson's most memorable poems portray people trapped in painful lives and unable to return to the security of the past. Like his poetic characters, Robinson suffered hardships throughout his life. His father's business failed in the Great Panic of 1893, one brother became a drug addict, another brother became an alcoholic, and Robinson himself struggled for years trying to earn money as a poet. After his first two volumes of poetry received favorable notice, he moved from his home in Gardiner, Maine, to New York City. His financial and critical status improved with his first Pulitzer Prize in 1922, and he went on to win two more Pulitzers in the following five years. Robinson's works include Children of the Night The Man against the Sky Avon's Harvest Collected Poems (1922), and
