Robert White Creeley (May 21, 1926 – March 30, 2005)[1] was an American poet and author of more than 60 books. He is associated with the Black Mountain poets, although his verse aesthetic diverged from that school. Creeley was close with Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Allen Ginsberg, John Wieners and Ed Dorn.
Creeley served as the Samuel P. Capen Professor of Poetry and the Humanities at State University of New York at Buffalo. In 1991, he joined colleagues Susan Howe, Charles Bernstein, Raymond Federman, Robert Bertholf, and Dennis Tedlock in founding the Poetics Program at Buffalo.
Creeley lived in Waldoboro, Buffalo, and Providence, where he taught at Brown University.[2] He was a recipient of the Lannan Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award.[3][4][5]
