Wilbur, Richard Purdy

    0.05 sec.

Wilbur, Richard Purdy (1921– )

US poet. He is noted for his cultural conservatism, urbane wit, and the elegance of his verse in such volumes as The Beautiful Changes (1947) and Things of This World (1956), which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He also published children's verse, as in Loudmouse (1963) and Opposites (1973). In 1987 he was named the second US poet laureate, following Robert Penn Warren.

Wilbur continued to publish poetry and win prestigious awards while establishing himself as a talented translator and lyricist. He won his second Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for his New and Collected Poems.
