Yvor Winters (1900-1968) was a poet, critic, and Stanford University professor of English literature. He won the Bollingen Prize in 1961. R. L. Barth is the author of A Soldier's Time, Abandon Hope, and, most recently, First Morning, Last Night. As Robert L. Barth he is a publisher of chapbooks.
“Winters’s poems have compassion and are made of iron ... Dimwits
have called him a conservative. He is the kind of conservative who
was so original and radical that ... neither the avant-garde nor
the vulgar had an eye for him.”
“Yvor Winters is a master obscured by history.”
“Yvor Winters… conducted a poetic revolution all his own. His
writing has clarity, elegance, and power.”
