Considered by some to have been the best American poet of his time, Robinson is now primarily remembered for his short poems about the lives—mostly tragic—of people in a small New England village.

A quiet, introverted man, Robinson never married and became legendary for his reclusiveness. Why did he have no name until he was six months old? Discuss
