Edwin Arlington Robinson (December 22, 1869 – April 6, 1935) was an American poet and sonnet writer who won three Pulitzer Prizes for his work. In 1896 he self-published his first book, The Torrent and the Night Before, paying 100 dollars for 500 copies. Robinson meant it as a surprise for his mother. Days before the copies arrived, Mary Palmer Robinson died of diphtheria. His second volume, Children of the Night, had a somewhat wider circulation. Its readers included President Theodore Roosevelt's son Kermit, who recommended it to his father. Posterity has him described as ' more artful than Hardy and more coy than Frost and a brilliant sonneteer /
