The Bridge by Hart Crane

Begun in 1923 and published 1930, The Bridge is Crane's major work. Very roughly, he wrote a friend, it concerns a mystical synthesis of 'America' . . . The initial impulses of 'our people' will have to be gathered up toward the climax of the bridge, symbol of our constructive future, our unique identity.
"Hart Crane may well remain as the greatest poet produced by American since Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. . . His imaginative intensity, his flashes of imagery, his Elizabethan grandeur, make his rich black verse eclipse most of the poetry written in English since Yeats." -- Henri Peyre - New York Times Book Review
Bloom, Harold: - The Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University, Harold Bloom (b. 1930) has been hailed as one of our greatest living literary critics (Los Angeles Times).
