Aesthetic Realism Looks at New York City: Poetry
ROBERT CLAIRMONT, poet, was born in 1902 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he grew up. He attended the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University. Clairmont is author of Quintillions, Star in the West, and Forever X; and the first volume of the series Poets of Today (1938) is given to his work. He was editor of the periodical New Cow of Greenwich Village and, in the early 1950's, of the poetry magazine Pegasus. The book Millionaire Playboy, by Tom Boggs, is a fictionalized account of Robert Clairmont's life.
