This study not only reveals the important contribution to poetry that Theodore Roethke provided, but also illuminates his effect on five major present-day poets -- James Wright, Robert Bly, James Dickey, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes -- who acknowledge Roethke's influence. Professor Williams compares the five modern poets with their mentor and re-evaluates Roethke's poetry.
