Born in 1914 in Beatrice, Nebraska, and presumed dead in 1955 (when he apparently leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge), Weldon Kees has become one of the better-known 'unknown' American poets of the twentieth century, his fiction and poetry largely kept alive by other poets. This book shows the range and reach of Kees' artistic activities.
