All Lovely Things
Music I Heard
Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) was an American poet and novelist, and a Harvard classmate of T.S. Eliot with whom Aiken maintained a lifelong friendship. Like Eliot, he was influenced by the French symbolists in his writings. He received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1930. Many of his works (both his poetry and his fiction) delve into the psychological dimensions of the human experience. Carefully balancing structure and the free play of the poetic line (another similarity to Eliot), Aiken saw God as the anchor for his understanding and vision of humanity and the created universe.
