Hart Crane
Hart Crane was an American Poet who was highly inspired by T.S. Eliot. He has been hailed as one of the great poets by playwrights, poets, and literary critics like Tennessee Williams and Harold Bloom. He was severely depressed and addicted to alcohol, most likely because he struggled with being homosexual at a time when it was not accepted. While on steamship Orizaba, witnesses say he jumped overboard and exclaimed “goodbye, everybody!” His body was never found and his tombstone reads: “Harold Crane Hart 1899-1932, lost at sea.”
