Maddow mistranslated his last name, which comes from a Russian word for "bear," and conjured up the pseudonym David Wolff.
Maddow published three poems in Poetry as David Wolff, but Wolff vanished after World War II when Maddow found success using own name as a screenwriter in Hollywood.
Maddow wrote the film adaptation of William Faulkner's "Intruder in the Dust," and he co-authored "The Asphalt Jungle" with John Huston, for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

As Ben Maddow's career flourished, David Wolff's slipped into the past, and “The City” slept in the yellowing pages of Poetry's archives.
Known best as a screenwriter, Maddow continued over the years to nurture his private muse, and in 1991 he authorized the publication of "A False Autobiography," the harvest of five decades of his best poems (Available in paperback for $18.75, hardback for $28.75, from Other Shore Press, 95 Corona Way, Carmel, CA 93923).

The pictures (accompanied by lengthy quotations from Smith) speak eloquently of his vision, mission, and craftsmanship.
Unfortunately, Maddow's essay adds far more than we need to know about Smith's personal relationships, by way of a tiresome pastiche taken from the thousands of documents at the Center for Creative Photography.

 Nelson Algren - Chicago: City on the Make
Algren's Chicago also depends on other literary sources, and this thesis presents original research showing that Algren draws upon poetry of New York to paint his picture of Chicago.
Algren alters Sandburg's Chicago through an elaborate system of reference to Ben Maddow's 1940 poem of New York, "The City," and Algren's controlling metaphor follows the literary ethic of another New York poet: Walt Whitman.
This research was later recounted in an article published in Chicago's Newcity magazine:
