Louis Untermeyer—poet, critic.
Born in New York City, 1885. Educated at the De Witt Clinton High School, New York. An accomplished pianist and professional designer of jewelry. Married Jean Starr ([q. v.]), 1907. Business man. Associate editor of The Seven Arts (cf. Poetry, 9 [’16-’17]: 214). Contributing editor to The Liberator. Socialist.
Mr. Untermeyer’s early verse was influenced by Heine, Housman, and Henley, especially the last; but he has broken away from them to an individual expression of social passions.
