My knowledge of American poetry is abysmal, but this sounds intriguing. Do you know of any good starting points to read about her work, and her life?

- thyrsus 9y agoI have a 1973 edition of the "Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry", which includes six of her poems. I think the volume serves its purpose well, and includes a nice balance of British and American poets. From the brief biography included: "After 1939, when she returned to the United States, she renounced poetry and wrote no more poems: she came to see poetry as obstructing the dedicated use of words for truth that it invited."
