Harry Weldon Kees is an American poet, painter, literary critic, novelist, playwright, jazz pianist, writer and filmmaker. Despite his short career, Kees is considered an important mid-20th century poet of the same generation as John Berryman, Elizabeth Bishop, and Robert Lowell. His work had a great influence on subsequent generations of poets written in English and other languages, and his collected poems have been included in numerous anthologies. Harold Bloom cites the publication of Kees' The Last Man as an important event in the timeline of his modern American poetry as well as a book worthy of Western classics.
