Harold Hart Crane (July 21, 1899 April 27, 1932) was a American poet. Finding both inspiration and provocation in the poetry of T. S. Eliot, Crane wrote poetry that was traditional in form, difficult and often archaic in language... Though frequently condemned as being difficult beyond comprehension, Crane has proved in the long run to be one of the most influential poets of his generation. Born in Garrettsville, Ohio, Hart Cranes father, Clarence, was a successful Ohio businessman who had made his fortune in the candy business by inventing the Life Saver.
