Crane, (Harold) Hart (1899-1932)

US poet. His long mystical poem The Bridge (1930) uses the Brooklyn Bridge as a symbolic key to the harmonizing myth of modern America, seeking to link humanity's present with its past in an epic continuum. His work, which was influenced by T S Eliot, is notable for its exotic diction and dramatic rhetoric.

He committed suicide by jumping overboard from a steamer bringing him back to the USA after a visit to Mexico.
