Harold Hart Crane was born in Ohio in 1899. In 1923 he became a copy-writer in New York. White Buildings , his first collection, appeared in 1926, and in 1930 his most famous work, The Bridge , was published. A reaction against the pessimism in T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land , The Bridge was a love song to the myth of America and its optimism a much needed boon to post-Wall Street Crash America. Hart Crane committed suicide in 1932.
