The answer is:
harold hart crane -lrb- july 21 , 1899 -- april 27 , 1932 -rrb- was an american poet .finding both inspiration and provocation in the poetry of t. s. eliot , crane wrote modernist poetry that was difficult , highly stylized , and ambitious in its scope .in his most ambitious work , '' the bridge '' , crane sought to write an epic poem , in the vein of '' the waste land '' , that expressed a more optimistic view of modern , urban culture than the one that he found in eliot 's work .in the years following his suicide at the age of 32 , crane has been hailed by playwrights , poets , and literary critics alike -lrb- including robert lowell , derek walcott , tennessee williams , and harold bloom -rrb- , as being one of the most influential poets of his generation .
