About the author
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, John Gould Fletcher studied at Harvard before leaving without a degree. He spent many years in Europe, where he became closely associated with Ezra Pound, Amy Lowell, and the Imagist movement.
Fletcher published influential collections including Irradiations: Sand and Spray, Goblins and Pagodas, The Black Rock, and South Star. He also wrote Life Is My Song, an autobiography, and Arkansas, a history of his home state.
After returning to Arkansas in 1933, Fletcher continued writing poetry that explored nature, spirituality, and American identity. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for Selected Poems and died near Little Rock in 1950.
