Out of all of the good poets during this time....


Hart Crane.
America's love affair with moderism.

Gerard Manley Hopkins was by far the better poet.


Hart Crane the kind of individual that TS Eliot was speaking of in "The Wasteland".
Or that Evelyn Waugh was speaking of in "Vile Bodies".


No content, form for the sake of form.

Evelyn Waugh was one of those pretentious Brit queens who converted to Catholicism attracted by its theatrics.
