Cummings , and Jean Toomer , but his heavy drinking and chronic instability frustrated any attempts at lasting friendship. An admirer of T. S. Eliot , Crane combined the influences of European literature and traditional versification with a particularly American sensibility derived from Walt Whitman . His major work, the book-length poem, The Bridge , expresses in ecstatic terms a vision of the historical and spiritual significance of America. Like Eliot, Crane used the landscape of the modern, industrialized city to create a powerful new symbolic literature. Hart Crane committed suicide in 1932, at the age of thirty-three, by jumping from the deck of a steamship sailing back to New York from Mexico. This bio was last updated on Jun 12, 2001.

Hart Crane and The Bridge Some Notes on The Bridge Symbols The poem has the Brooklyn Bridge undoubtedly as the central symbol, along with other symbols including the water , the unifying flux, metropolis Columbus Pocahontas Rip Van Winkle Whitman , the subway , etc. The Brooklyn Bridge The Brooklyn Bridge (1869-83) was "the first great suspension bridge in the United States that had cables formed from parallel steel wires that were spun in place. This fundamental method is still used today." It "links the boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan across the East River in New York City" (cf. "Proem" l. 4 ). It "carries six lanes of traffic on a span of 486 m." "New York City honored the bridge with a gala centennial celebration in 1983."

Bright peacocks drink from flame-pots by the wall, Just as absinthe-sipping women shiver through With shimmering blue from the bowl in Circe's hall. Their brown eyes blacken, and the blue drop hue. The andante quivers with crescendo's start, And dies on fire's birth in each man's heart. The tapestry betrays a finger through The slit, soft-pulling; and music follows cue. There is a sweep, a shattering, a choir Disquieting of barbarous fantasy. The pulse is in the ears, the heart is higher, And stretches up through mortal eyes to see. Carmen! Akimbo arms and smouldering eyes; Carmen! Bestirring hope and lipping eyes; Carmen whirls, and music swirls and dips. "Carmen!," comes awed from wine-hot lips. Finale leaves in silence to replume Bent wings, and Carmen with her flaunts through the gloom Of whispering tapestry, brown with old fringe:

Hart Crane: Biographical Sketch H arold Hart Crane ("Hart" was his mother’s maiden name) was born in Garrettsville, Ohio, near Cleveland in 1899 and committed suicide by leaping from the deck of the S. S. Orizaba somewhere off the Florida coast just before noon on April 26, 1932. The Bridge The Bridge , he sought inspiration by traveling to Europe, and when he was awarded a Guggenheim in 1931, he temporarily settled in Mexico. Voyages were fashioned as an extraordinary souvenir of their temporary union.) Crane never found a single partner with whom to share his life, and after Opffer, he may have felt such a partner could never be found. His affairs were temporary, mostly anonymous, and sometimes violent; he apparently never sought out sexual companionship among members of the New York artistic community. Late in his brief life, when living in Mexico in 1931 and 1932, he entered into a heterosexual liaison with Peggy Baird, the former wife of a close friend, Malcolm Cowley. With her, there had been discussion of marriage and a new beginning. All in all, Crane lived a tumultuous life, a life reflected in what one critic disparagingly called his "Rube Goldberg rhetoric." Maturing in a time when an astonishing range of poetic styles were competing with each other for ascendancy, Crane as an apprentice poet seems to have sampled one and all. The early poems that open his first collection

He published only two volumes of poetry during his lifetime, but those works established Crane as one of the most original and vital American poets of the 20th cent. His extraordinarily complex poetry, with its rich imagery, verbal ingenuity, and meticulous craftsmanship, curiously combines ecstatic optimism with a sense of haunted alienation. White Buildings (1926), his first collection of poems, was inspired by his experience of New York City. His most ambitious work is The Bridge (1930), a series of closely related long poems on the United States in which the Brooklyn Bridge serves as a mystical unifying symbol of civilization's evolution. Crane's personal life was anguished and turbulent. After an unhappy childhood during which he was torn between estranged parents, he held a variety of uninteresting jobs, always, however, returning to New York City and his writing. An alcoholic and a homosexual, he was constantly plagued by money problems and was often a severe trial to friends who tried to help him. In 1931 he won a Guggenheim Fellowship and went to Mexico to work on a long poem about Latin America; a year later, returning to the U.S., the poem not even started, he jumped overboard from his ship and was drowned. His collected poems were published in 1933.

The worker is at first embarrassed, then compliant. As his fingers work, the owner's son begins to notice the details of the other hand and to conjure images"wings of butterflies" and "the marks of wild ponies' play"in the worker's rough hand. Somehow this establishes a brief bond that transcends the class barrier between the two in an act of healing. Commentary Crane follows Whitman in his willingness to find beautiful images anywhere, even in this homoerotic exchange between two males of different social class. Few other literary works make these two points about the clinical encounter: that eroticism is potentially present in the physical contact between patient and caregiver; and that social class is also brought to the encounter where, like eroticism, it should ideally be transcended.

The last Elizabethan: Hart Crane at 100 by Eric Ormsby Click to buy the book(s). 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. Tamburlaine From iygging vaines of riming mother wits, and such conceits as clownage keepes in pay.

After failing in New York Crane became a writer of advertising copy in Cleveland until he returned to the East in the spring of 1923. Eventually Allen Tate and Waldo Frank recognized his poetic abilities. With the help of Otto Kahn he was able to continue his long poem The Bridge as an answer to Eliot's The Waste Land. His masetrwork was published in 1930 but by that time his nerves and drinking had reduced his capacity to function. He sailed for Mexico in the spring of 1931 with hopes of writing a poem on the Conquest. However sinking into depression he decided to return to New York. After an evening of heavy drinking he jumped off the ship from Vera Cruz to New York and drowned. SCOPE AND CONTENT

Black Tambourine The interests of a black man in a cellar Mark tardy judgment on the world's closed door. Gnats toss in the shadow of a bottle, And a roach spans a crevice in the floor. Æsop, driven to pondering, found Heaven with the tortoise and the hare; Fox brush and sow ear top his grave And mingling incantations in the air. The black man, forlorn in the cellar, Wanders in some mid-kingdom, dark, that lies, Between his tambourine, stuck on the wall, And, in Africa, a carcass quick with flies. Hart Crane on "Black Tambourine" to Gorham Munson (1921): "The Word 'mid-kingdom' is perhaps the key word to what ideas there are in it. The poem is a description and bundle of insinuations, suggestions bearing on the Negro's place somewhere between man and beast. That is why Aesop is brought in, etc.,the popular conception of Negro romance, the tambourine on the wall. The value of the poem is only, to me, in what a painter would call its 'tactile' quality,an entirely aesthetic feature. A propagandist for either side of the Negro question could find anything he wanted to in it. My only declaration in it is that I find the Negro (in the popular mind) sentimentally or brutally 'placed' in this midkingdom" (58). To G.M.

Ghost Stories Hart Crane Despite his short life, Hart Crane (1899-1932) was an accomplished poet, whose work The Bridge is noted as an epic myth that attempted to capture the American experience. Although critics disagree on the importance of The Bridge, most will agree it contains some of America's best lyrics of the time. [ Click to Order Crane's The Bridge (soft $) ] Exile My hands have not touched pleasure since your hands, No, nor my lips freed laughter since 'farewell', And with the day, distance again expands Voiceless between us, as an uncoiled shell. Yet, love endures, though starving and alone. A dove's wings clung about my heart each night With surging gentleness, and the blue stone Set in the tryst-ring has but worn more bright. (c. 1922) Exile struck me as a well-crafted love poem, whose words and intimacy seem anything but crafted: an honesty not found in many poems, but respected and appreciated when discovered.
