Born at Savannah, Ga., Aug. 5, 1889. Received the degree of A.B.
from Harvard University in 1912 and in August of the same year married
Miss Jessie McDonald, of Montreal, Canada. Mr. Aiken's first volume
of poetry, "Earth Triumphant", was published in 1914, and has been followed
by "Turns and Movies", 1916; "Nocturne of Remembered Spring", 1917;
and "The Charnel Rose", 1918. Mr. Aiken is a keen and trenchant critic,
as well as a poet, and his volume on the modern movement in poetry,
"Skepticisms", is one of the finest and most stimulating contributions
to the subject.
[Conrad Aiken won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1930 for "Selected Poems".
