Publisher Notes

Few poets have lived as extraordinary and fascinating a life as Hart Crane, the American poet who made his meteoric rise in the late l920s and then as suddenly flamed out, killing himself at the age of thirty-two and thus turning his life and poetry into the stuff of myth. The first biography of Crane to appear in thirty years, The Broken Tower reads with all the drama of a psychological novel and the inexorable force of a Greek tragedy.

Media Reviews

"A superbly wrought, movingly told biography....It is a compelling story, and Mariani tells it with the kind of insight and psychological acuity worthy of a great Russian novelist."
