Randall Jarrell: born in Nashville, Tenn in 1914 and graduated from Vanderbilt U. Lived in Greensboro, North Carolina where he was a professor of english at the Women's College of the University of North Carolina. He also taught at Sarah Lawrence and Kenyon Colleges, the Universities of Texas, Illinois, Indiana and Cincinnati, and at Princeton University. At various times he was poetry critic of the Nation, Partisan Review and The Yale Review, and as poet, novelist and critic his work has received many awards. For two years he was Consultant in Poetry at the Library of Congress. He was a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters and a chancellor of The Academy of American Poets.
