Born on 21 July 1899, Hart Crane died at sea on 27 April 1932. Despite much critical misunderstanding and neglect, in his own time and in ours, Crane achieved a superb poetic style, idiosyncratic yet central to mthe American tradition. Marc Simon's text is accepted as the authoritative presentation of Crane's work. He relies on Crane's original documents and variants, coming closer to Crane's own intention for publication of his poems than previous editions. In addition to the three major collections - "White Buildings", "The Bridge" and "Key West" - "The Complete Poems of Hart Crane" includes over 70 other poems, among which are 41 poems uncollected or unpublished by Crane, 11 incomplete works and 21 fragments. For this centennial edition, Harold Bloom, who was introduced as a child to poetry by falling in love with Crane's work, has contributed a new introduction.
