Hart Crane, also known as Hart Crane, is a famous contemporary American poet. He was controversial in his early years and is now regarded as one of the best American poets in this century. Inspired by Eliot's poems, he wrote obscure, highly formalized and ambitious poems.
Crane is a difficult poet who is good at using metaphors and allusions with great tension. His unique metaphorical logic combines his transcendental desire and high prayer style, giving people a sense of tension that sometimes refuses to let go. His "rhetoric" or self-awareness of words is amazing, which shows his kinship with Marlowe, Hopkins and Eliot.
He has Dionysian spiritual personality and orpheus's bad luck desire, but he is a compulsive revisionist and an artist who is cautious and reserved about his works. His poetic skills have reached the extreme that American poetry can provide. Behind him, through the efforts of a generation of highly romantic critics, Crane's reputation is growing day by day, and now he is recognized as an important American poet in the sequence of Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson, Frost, Stevens and Eliot.
