Edwin Arlington Robinson Biography Edwin Arlington Robinson's most memorable poems portray people trapped in painful lives and unable to return to the security of the past. Like his poetic characters, Robinson suffered hardships throughout his life. His father's business failed in the Great Panic of 1893, one brother became a drug addict, another brother became an alcoholic, and Robinson himself struggled for years trying to earn money as a poet. After his first two volumes of poetry received favorable notice, he moved from his home in Gardiner, Maine, to New York City. His financial and critical status improved with his first Pulitzer Prize in 1922, and he went on to win two more Pulitzers in the following five years. Robinson's works include Children of the Night The Man against the Sky Avon's Harvest Collected Poems (1922), and Tristram Explorations In reading Edwin Arlington Robinson's Maine poems from the turn of the century, we face some of the same questions which we encounter in reading strong "regionalist" and "local color" fiction, or the Wessex novels of Thomas Hardy, whose work Robinson much admired. Robinson writes about country men and women of limited education and experience of the larger world; nonetheless, they can seem emblematic of a human condition that extends far beyond that moment in Robinson's New England. Euros Turannos (1913) is stubbornly abstract in describing the complex, lifelong psychological relationship between one man and one woman. Try a paraphrase or explication of the third and fourth stanzas. What kinds of experiences seem to be alluded to here? Why give an esoteric Greek title to a short poem about the marriage of two very unesoteric people?

And if my bubbles be too small for you, Blow bigger then your own: the games we play To fill the frittered minutes of a day, Good glasses are to read the spirit through. And whose reads may get him some shrewd skill; And some unprofitable scorn resign, To praise the very thing that he deplores; So, friends (dear friends), remember, if you will, The shame I win for singing is all mine, The gold I miss for dreaming is all yours.

Edwin Arlington Robinson Richard Cory Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favoured, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, 'Good-morning,' and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich - yes, richer than the king - And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.
