Robert Leary Biography
I started writing poetry at the age of twenty at the University of Connecticut. At UConn I studied with James Scully and won the Wallace Stevens Award for poetry several times. While there I published poems in the Wormwood Review. Upon graduation I entered Harvard first studying with Richard Tillinghast in the summer. I then was introduced to Robert Lowell, submitted a manuscript and was formally accepted at Harvard to study with Lowell. At Harvard I published poems in the Harvard Advocate. I only recently started writing again for my own entertainment.
The puppet has a vision
With many strings attached
A life for every season
Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall
...
It was a love so deep inside
That in his heart
The butterfly doth reside
...
In the garden
You sit upon my book
I look you in the eye
…receive a pleasant look
...
