		When Crane positions himself under the shadows of the bridge, he is, in one sense, simply the poet of the romantic tradition, the observer who stands aside the better to see; but he is, in another sense, the gay male cruising in an area notorious for its casual sex.
		Hart Crane (1899-1932) was an American poet in the mystical tradition who attempted, through the visionary affirmations of his richly imagistic, metaphysically intense poetry, to counter the naturalistic despair of the 1920s.
		Hart Crane was born on July 21, 1899, in Garrettsville, Ohio, the son of the successful Cleveland manufacture of "Crane's Chocolates," and was raised in Cleveland.

	Voices and Visions Spotlight -- Hart Crane
		Hart Crane's reputation rests primarily on his extraordinary craftsmanship and sweeping vision.
		Crane's poetic vision, based on views that alcoholic and sexual excesses were a way to achieve a perception of unity of all things, led to self-destructive behavior, and his short, turbulent life ended in suicide.

	Hart Crane Biographical Sketch
		By understanding the unlikelihood of his project, Crane (no doubt inadvertantly) constructed a basis upon which to begin it: the very point of the poem was that it was needed, that it did not yet exist, that it was to be sought for, an act of postulation.
		When Crane positions himself under the shadows of the bridge, he is, in one sense, simply the poet of the romantic tradition, the observer who stands aside the better to see; but he is, in another sense, the gay male cruising in an area notorious for its casual sex.
		Crane’s "epic of America" gets underway as a personal quest, as a poem divided against itself, in devotion to an urban setting that encourages social diversity, with secret inscriptions that retain their meanings to which only a privileged few are accessible.

		When, in the spring of 1932, Hart Crane neatly removed his overcoat and stepped off the side of the S.S. Orizaba into the sea north of Cuba, he had no inkling that he would one day be regarded as one of America's major modern poets.
		Crane answered charges of naïveté with a wonderfully strange protestation of faith: tragedy "is only three-dimensional," he argued in a 1923 letter to Munson.
		Though Crane could be frank, even lewd, with many of his gay correspondents, his tone swerves into metaphor when he addresses the heterosexual men of letters he considered his aesthetic peers.

	Hart Crane (1899-1932)
		I set Crane in the context of Pound and Eliot where students can see the ambitions he shared with his fellow modernists to "make it new," to write a poem including history, even to define the role of the poet as a cultural spokesman.
		Although Crane's effort, The Bridge, is too long to be included in full in the anthology, the selected sections--"To Brooklyn Bridge" and "The River"--should serve to indicate both his Native American subjects and the range of his style from formal quatrains through Whitmanian catalogues to collage and narrative.
		Crane's original audience included editors and readers of the little magazines of the 1920s, fellow poets, and literary friends such as Malcolm Cowley, Harry and Caresse Crosby, Waldo Frank, Gorham Munson, Katherine Anne Porter, and Allen Tate.

	Gerard Manley Hopkins and Hart Crane
		Hart Crane could by no means "wean" himself from Hopkins's poems, (Mariani, 292) and ultimately hoped that the thought and phrasing Hopkins's would enter into one of his poems, which happens, says Mariani (342), at last in Quaker Hill, the sixth section of his epic The Bridge,- composed between June-July 1927-Dec. 1929.
		Milton's influence also asserts itself in their treatment of evil, although in Hart Crane's poetry this influence manifests itself in a more constant personification of evil and is linked to a more Nietzschean world view whereas in Hopkins' poetry, the problem of evil manifests itself in a more abstract preoccupation with free will.
		Hopkins and Hart Crane gave voice in their work to the language of those who have no voice in society, of the clandestine, even the language of those subjected to torture.

	'The Broken Tower: The Life Of Hart Crane' by Paul Mariani
		Tracing Crane’s life from Garrettsville, Ohio, to the deck of the S.S. Orizaba from which he made a suicidal leap into the Caribbean in 1932 (his grave in Garrettsville is simply marked “Lost at Sea” since the body was never recovered), Mariani documents the poet’s passage in all its anguish and tragedy.
		To interpret Crane’s poetry in light of his homosexuality, as Mariani sometimes does, is to assume that life and literature (a poet and his poetry) have a one-to-one relationship.
		The vision of “The Bridge,” Crane’s masterwork, in which Roebling’s Brooklyn Bridge becomes the dominant symbol in American culture and is compared with the medieval cathedrals and the pyramids at Giza as triumphs of the human imagination, owes nothing to sexual orientation as much as it owes to poetic genius.

	The last Elizabethan: Hart Crane at 100 by Eric Ormsby
		Crane’s very change of given name, from Harold to his formidable mother’s maiden name, signifies his fervent if not wholly successful endeavor to transform the hayseed Harold into the cosmopolitan Hart (with all the plangent and sentimental double-entendres this new moniker entailed).
		Crane was too consummate an artist to have blurred so central an epiphany, especially when it concerned the deepest love of his life.
		Whether Crane ever learned the story or not, the Baroness predeceased him, killed by a French boyfriend in a Paris tenement in December 1927, who turned the gas on full one morning while she slept, walked out of the apartment, and closed the door behind him.

	The New Yorker: PRINTABLES
		Crane had already become one of the emblematic figures of the Lost Generation, thanks both to his conspicuous alcoholism, which was not uncommon in Prohibition America, and to his relatively open homosexuality, which was.
		Crane admitted that he was “more interested in the so-called illogical impingements of the connotations of words on the consciousness.
		Crane, likewise, presents the rare spectacle of a writer who is almost never vain or egotistical, but responds to his gifts with a mixture of joy and solemn responsibility.

	glbtq >> literature >> Crane, Hart
		Harold Hart Crane was born in Garrettsville, Ohio, on July 21, 1899, the only son of Grace Hart Crane, an intelligent, sensitive woman, and C. Crane, a success-driven businessman.
		Crane was not strictly closeted; an open-hearted and voluble man, with his straight friends he made no secret of his homosexuality, and New York in the 1920s offered ample opportunities for gay life.
		Yingling argues that "Crane's generation stood precisely on that historical threshold when homosexuality began to be articulated as an identity through Western cultures, and Crane's is one of the first literary texts to provide literary representations grounded in that articulation."

	Amazon.com: Complete Poems of Hart Crane: Books: Hart Crane,Marc Simon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Crane's poetry is dense, soaked in language, shot through with a burning eroticism, and goverened by what he called "the logic of metaphor." Often enigmatic, labyrinthian or just plain opaque, his poetry is well worth the effort one may need to put in to appreciate it fully.
		Hart Crane is among the greatest English Poets; he extends the orphic tradition--he works under the assumption (fact?) that poetry is nothing less than Life staying Death--and not in the tradition of mere "Culture", of elegant verses for elegant people.
		Beautifully written, Crane's poetic compositions, with their choice diction, dense and imaginative allegories and technical virtuosity, fall easily into the category of the poetry of "sensation", that is say, poetry characterised chiefly by the registering of impressions.

	LitKicks: Hart Crane and The Bridge
		Somehow, against all odds Crane managed to escape and was seen heading for the sailor’s quarters in search of “the secret oar and petals of love” which translates from Crane-speak as a hefty bout of buggering.
		The young Crane did not have a happy upbringing, later writing to his mother: “it’s time for you to realize that my youth has been a rather bloody battleground for yours and father’s sex life and troubles.” Obviously taking it seriously, he tried to kill himself by slashing his wrists but thankfully survived.
		Crane’s reaction was to slice the painting to ribbons and drink a bottle of iodine in another botched attempt to kill himself.

	Harold Hart Crane
		Crane was a generous friend, a brilliant talker with a childlike vulnerability and charm -- as long as he was sober.
		Crane's struggle to defend his affirmative vision, which ended with his suicide in 1932, is the heroic story Paul Mariani narrates in ''The Broken Tower,'' the first biography of Crane to appear in 30 years.
		Crane gave himself to other people profligately -- his letters are a record, and an instance, of that generosity of spirit -- and he demanded as much in return (as his letters, with their frequent self-pity, defensiveness and requests for money, also record).

		Hart Crane is among the greatest English Poets; he extends the orphic tradition--he works under the assumption (fact?) that poetry is nothing less than Life staying Death--and not in the tradition of mere "Culture", of elegant verses for elegant people.
		Hart Crane is the paragon of great American orphic poetry - yes, such a thing did (does?) exist.
		At a time when American poets were taking the turn inward to represent human consciousness through their style in a way that was immediately familiar to itself, Hart Crane stood on the perimeter of that boundary; unwilling to traverse it, or stand outside of it.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Hart Crane
		Hart Crane is among the most radically inventive of High Modernist poets, experimenting with language and poetic scale in ways that extended the scope of Modernism and influenced several generations of American poets who followed him.
		Crane appropriated their affinity for music and their attraction to abstract language that attempted to evoke complex emotional registers, and attempted translations of the work of Jules Laforgue.
		Crane was also beginning a descent into alcoholism and bouts of violent behavior and depression, illnesses that would abbreviate both his literary output and his life.
