Abstract

Ernest Hemingway's ninety or so published poems attest to his lifelong flirtation with the muse, and his biography echoes with names, influences, and contretemps with a galaxy of poets from stars like Ezra Pound, Archibald MacLeish, and Wallace Stevens to lesser lights like Evan Shipman and Ernest Walsh. Over the decades Hemingway's life, legend, and writing have also inspired responses from poets whose work offers a curious mix of contributions to the myth as well as an informal sub-genre of criticism. This essay reflects on such poems by writers as varied as Charles Bukowski, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, David Ray, Vicki Feaver, and Thomas Merton.
