The Greatest American Poet
Three men of driving individuality and boiling talents come together here in a remarkable group portrait. One is the author, a former star athlete, fighter pilot with more than 100 missions on his record in World War II and the Korean conflict, and today recognized among America’s leading poets. Second is Allan Seager of Michigan, a writer whose talent far exceeds the recognition he had earned from the public and the critics before his death in May. And the third is the subject of Seager’s newly published biography, the late Theodore Roethke, whom James Dickey proposes to crown “the greatest poet this country has produced.” In conjunction with Mr. Dickey’s memoirreview, we publish, beginning on page 58, excerpts from Mr. Roethke’s notebooks, edited by David Wagoner, poet and novelist (BABY, COME ON INSIDE).The edited notebooks are scheduled to be published by Doubleday sometime in 1969.
