شكرا استاذ عادل
هذه تفاصيل اضافية عن هذا الشاعر كما هي منشورة في ويكبيديا. والاهم في هذه التفاصيل هي الحوادث التروماتكية الكارثية التي صنعته شاعرا حتما وكما نقول دائما بان الابداع يولد من رحم المآسي:
في التفاصيل :
- نجد ان عمه انتحر بينما كان الشاعر في سن الرابعة عشرة .
- كما مات ابوه بالسرطان في نفس السن
وهي الاحداث التي اثرت فيه بعمق وصبغت شعره كم تقول سيرته ادناه.

Theodore Huebner Roethke

(/ˈrɛtki/ RET-kee;[1] May 25, 1908 – August 1, 1963) was an American poet who published several volumes of influential and critically acclaimed verse. He is widely regarded as among the most accomplished and influential poets of his generation.
Roethke's work is characterized by its introspection, rhythm and natural imagery. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1954 for his book, The Waking, and he won the annual National Book Award for Poetry twice, in 1959 for Words for the Wind[2] and posthumously in 1965 for The Far Field.[3]
In the November 1968 edition of the Atlantic Monthly, former U.S. Poet Laurete and author James Dickey wrote Roethke was: "...in my opinion the greatest poet this country has yet produced."
In 2012, he was featured on a United States postage stamp as one of ten great 20th Century American poets.


Biography]
Roethke was born in Saginaw, Michigan and grew up on the west side of the Saginaw River. His father, Otto, was a German immigrant, a market-gardener who owned a large local 25 acre greenhouse, along with his brother (Theodore's uncle). Much of Theodore's childhood was spent in this greenhouse, as reflected by the use of natural images in his poetry.

In early 1923 when Roethke was 14 years old, his uncle committed suicide and his father died of cancer, and these events no doubt impacted him deeply and influenced his work.
