The Daily PoemHart Crane's "Chaplinesque"In today’s poem, written a century ago, cinema (and Charlie Chaplin) is already supplying metaphors for the work and experience of modern poets. Happy reading.Harold Hart Crane was born on July 21, 1899, in Garrettsville, Ohio, and began writing verse in his early teenage years. Though he never attended college, Crane read regularly on his own, digesting the works of the Elizabethan dramatists and poets William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, John Donne and the nineteenth-century French poets Charles Vildrac, Jules Laforgue, and Arthur Rimbaud. His father, a candy manufacturer, attempted to dissuade him from a career in poetry, but Cr...

Lopullinen47. Brooke Hart22-vuotias Brooke Hart kidnapattiin perheensä tavaratalon parkkipaikalta, San Josessa marraskuussa 1933. Hartin perheelle saapui puheluita sekä kirjeitä, joissa Brooken isää vaadittiin toimittamaan lunnasrahat. Harold Thurmond ja Jack Holmes otettiin kiinni epäiltynä Brooken kidnappauksesta. Miesten kuulusteluissa selvisi, että Brooke oli heitetty alas San Mateon sillalta veteen. Ruumista etsittiin useiden päivien ajan, kunnes se lopulta löydettiin. Ruumislöytö sai ihmiset raivostumaan, ja jo samana iltana tuhatpäinen väkijoukko tunkeutui vankilaan sekä lynkkaamaan miehet.
