Born in Garrettsville, Ohio, on July 21, 1899, Crane died at sea on April 27, 1932, an apparent suicide. A born poet, totally devoted to his art, Crane suffered his warring parents as well as long periods of a hand-to-mouth existence. He suffered also from his honesty as a homosexual poet and lover during a period in American life unsympathetic to his sexual orientation. Despite much critical misunderstanding and neglect, in his own time and in ours, Crane achieved a superb poetic style, idiosyncratic yet central to American tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis visionary epic, \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/em\u003e, is the most ambitious and accomplished long poem since Walt Whitman's \u003cem\u003eSong of Myself\u003c\/em\u003e.
