Elizabeth Bishop! Delmore Schwartz! John Berryman! and a select number of others. His disappearance at the age of forty-one! which still places a question mark on his suicide! along with his movie-star good looks! role in the culture of his day! and shifting relationships with key figures have made him one of the more intriguing and elusive artists of the 1940s and pre-Beat '50s.
