Theodore Roethke's Life and Career Walter Kalaidjian H e was born Theodore Huebner Roethke in Saginaw, Michigan, the son of Otto Roethke and Helen Huebner, owners of a local greenhouse. As a student at Saginaw's Arthur Hill High School, Roethke demonstrated early promise in a speech on the Junior Red Cross that was subsequently published in twenty-six languages. The poet's adolescent years were jarred, however, by the death of his father from cancer in 1923, a loss that would powerfully shape Roethke's psychic and creative lives. From 1925 to 1929 Roethke distinguished himself at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, graduating magna cum laude. Resisting family pressure to pursue a legal career, he quit law school after one semester and, from 1929 to 1931, took graduate courses at the University of Michigan and later the Harvard Graduate School, where he worked closely with the poet Robert Hillyer. The hard economic times of the Great Depression forced Roethke to leave Harvard and to take up a teaching career at Lafayette College from 1931 to 1935. Here he met Rolfe Humphries, who introduced him to Louise Bogan; during these years Roethke also found a powerful supporter, colleague, and friend in the poet Stanley Kunitz. In the fall of 1935 Roethke assumed his second teaching post at Michigan State College at Lansing but was soon hospitalized for what would prove to be recurring bouts of mental illness. Throughout his subsequent career Roethke used these periodic incidents of depression for creative self-exploration. They allowed him, as he said, to "reach a new level of reality."

[an error occurred while processing this directive] THEODORE ROETHKE O wing much to the mystics of the Anglo-Celtic tradition such as Blake, Yeats, and Auden, poet Theodore Roethke, exerted, in turn, a significant influence on artists of the 1940's and 1950's generations. Not only did a poet like Sylvia Plath find inspiration in Roethke's work, but a number of American composers, among them Samuel Barber and Ned Rorem , found the lyricism of his verse excellent material for song settings. Born on May 25, 1908 in Michigan and educated there, he went on to Harvard before pursuing an academic career at various American universities. His first volume of verse, OPEN HOUSE (1941), initiated his hallmark use of plant imagery as a symbol for human flowering and decay. He followed this with autobiographical verse, THE LOST SON (1948) and PRAISE TO THE END! (1951), which showed him embracing the visionary style of Yeats. THE WAKING won the poet the Pulitzer Prize in 1953, while the Bollingen Prize-winning WORDS FOR THE WIND is probably his best known work. After his death in 1963 the remainder of his verse, letters, and essays were published posthumously and a COLLECTED EDITION of the poems appeared in 1975.

A poem by Theodore Roethke apparently not included in his Collected Poems or the later Words for the Wind is reprinted in Joachim Remak's The Origins of World War I, 1871-1914 The Shooting Party , would end (or be transformed) quite suddenly in August of 1914, when, from some points of view, the twentieth century, just as suddenly, began. O the gondolets, the mandolins, the twanging of the lutes, The girls all dressed in crinoline among the flowers and fruits The flowers all symbolical, the lily and the rose, And how the sherry blossomed on the end of grandma's nose. The maiden sighs and turns away, the maiden she relents, Attracted by the glitter of a pile of five per cents. They danced beneath the arbors, they strolled upon the grass, O never aware, O never aware of what would come to pass.
