Stephen Vincent Benet
WRITER
Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Stephen Vincent Benet was one of the best-known living American poets between 1928-1943 and was more widely read than Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, or Wallace Stevens. His success as a writer came early and continued all through his life. He won his first poetry prize from St. Nicholas Magazine at thirteen, sold his first poem to New Republic two months before his seventeenth birthday, and had his first volume of poetry, Five Men and Pompey, published in winter 1915. He entered Yale at the age of seventeen. His most famous work is the long poem John Brown's Body for which he received the Pulitzer Prize in 1929. During his lifetime, Benét also received the O. Henry Story Prize, the Roosevelt Medal, and a second Pulitzer Prize in 1944 for the posthumously-published Western Star. At the age of 44, Benét suffered a heart attack and died on March 13, 1943, in New York.
