(Born in Brunswick, Maine, 1892)

Robert Peter Tristram Covent said: "Anyone who lives in Maine, as long as his eyes and ears are good, is like a poet who has a lovely beauty as the equipment to deal with housework."

Mr. Covent has this equipment. An ancient family of whalers from Nantucket Island. He was trained in Maine and educated in Bowdoin, and completed his studies as a top student in 19 15. Later, he received a master's degree in literature from Princeton University, a bachelor's degree in literature from Oxford University (where he was a Rhodes Scholar) and a doctor's degree in literature from the University of Maine. He taught English at Welsh College and became Bowden's English professor after 1934. 1928, Harvard university, poet of the national honor organization of outstanding students in American universities. 1936 won the Pulitzer Prize for "Wonderful God". He is married, has four children and two farms and lives in Brunswick.

His works include: Christchurch (poetry anthology, 1924), Crown and Cabin (essay, 1925), Dew and Bronze (poetry, 1927) and Golden Falcon (poetry,/kloc). Duke of Buckingham Palace (193 1), Portrait of an American (193 1), Roar of the Yoke (poetry anthology, 1932), Old American Love Songs (poem

Mr. Covent talked about poetry:

I have a feeling that poetry can still play a public role as before. It can be eloquent, can make people believe in the possibility of imagination in life, and provides a model that was once born in religious belief, but today many people have lost their religious belief.

Poetry is the best description of people's life ... Poetry is the best preparation for outstanding thoughts ... This is a beautiful art about life.

I found poems in ordinary days and in the sudden light, just like on the way to Damascus ... these are poems, and a poem doesn't need to be written down. They appeared in front of him in the form of poems, and he just wrote them down. One or two of them can make anyone cherish the precious chance of survival.

Evaluation of Covent:

Robert Coffin weaved useful things with his simple poems and entered the structure of our country nobly. Maybe the torch of pine trees in his hometown burned for a long time.

Covent prefers to be influenced by Robert Frost, who helps him see poetry from ordinary speeches, characters and everyday scenes. He wrote some quiet, unforgettable, great and beautiful lyrics.

Robert Peter Tristram Covent has collected many things, including some amazing things. More sentimental than Mr. Van Darwin, his poems are more colorful and sometimes with exquisite painting effects. He is familiar with farm life in New England and loves Maine. He can draw vivid portraits or whip out an excellent ballad. His weakness is dexterity ... but he is a pleasant American poet.
