But when he had the opportunity to focus on his writing, this brilliant poet found inspiration in landscapes and in the changing weather, which he viewed as a metaphor for the condition of the soul. This secretive and unhappily married man used his imagination to transform a not-always pleasant reality through comic and meditative verse. This fascinating video biography features commentary from literary critics and writers Harold Bloom, Joan Richardson and James Merrill.
