The sensational aspects of Crane's life have tended to obscure the greatness of his poetry. Born in 1899 in a small Ohio town, Crane rebelled against his respectable family, and during the 1920s led a wild, precarious life in Brooklyn, Europe and the Caribbean: asserting his homosexuality, tormented by his fickle genius, depressed, sick, poor and usually drunk. In April 1932 he jumped off a ship and drowned in the sea. But Hart Crane published White Buildings (1926) and The Bridge (1930), two major landmarks in American literature.
