In his varied, century-long life, Eberhart was a tutor in the household of the king of Siam (Thailand), the vice-president of his wife's family floor wax company and poet-in-residence at Dartmouth College, N.H. But he was chiefly a poet and teacher, one of the most prominent of the group which came to notice in the years before Wold War II, publishing his first book of poetry, A Bravery of Earth, in 1930. Eberhart reached the pinnacle of his success in the 1960s and 1970s, when he won the Pulitzer Prize (1966) and the National Book Award (1977) for poetry collections.

Richard Ghormley Eberhart (April 5, 1904 - June 9, 2005) was an American poet who published more than a dozen books of poetry and approximately twenty works in total. "Richard Eberhart emerged out of the 1930s as a modern stylist with romantic sensibilities." After serving as private tutor to the son of King Prajadhipok of Siam in 1931-1932, Eberhart pursued graduate study for a year at Harvard University. During his time at Harvard, Eberhart met and spoke with T. S. Eliot. His first book of poetry, A Bravery of Earth, was published in London in 1930. It reflected his experiences in Cambridge and his experience as a ship's hand. Reading the Spirit, published in 1937, contains one of his best-known poems, "The Groundhog". He taught for eight years at the St. Mark's School (1933-1941), where Robert Lowell was one of his students. During World War II he held the rank of Lieutenant Commander and served in the U.S. Naval Reserve;[6] this experience led him to write another of his most celebrated poems, "The Fury of Aerial Bombardment". In 1945, Eberhart published Poems: New and Selected, containing "The Fury of Aerial Bombardment" and other poems written during his service including "Dam Neck, Virginia" and "World War". He also edited War and the Poet: An Anthology of Poetry Expressing Man's Reactions to the Present claiming to be the first collection of poems based on war. After the war, Eberhart worked for six years for his wife's family's floor wax company, the Butcher Polish Company. Burr Oaks was his first work published after the war in 1947 followed by Brotherhood of Men in 1949. In 1950 he was a founder of the Poets' Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts. From the early 1950s until his retirement, he dedicated himself to writing poems and teaching at institutions of higher education, including the University of Washington, Brown University, Swarthmore College, Tufts University, Trinity College, University of Connecticut, Columbia University, University of Cincinnati, University of Florida, Wheaton College, St. Marks School, Princeton University and Dartmouth College. He taught for 30 years at Dartmouth as professor of English and poet-in-residence, where he was known for his encouragement of young poets. Eberhart published Undercliff: Poems 1946-1953 containing Fragment of New York in 1953. Eberhart wrote a number of dramatic works in the 1950s and early 1960s which were performed regionally. These works included The Apparition, The Visionary Farms, Triptych, The Mad Musicians and Devils and Angels. In 1962, these works were published as Collected Verse Plays. Eberhart was sent to San Francisco by The New York Times to report on the Beat poetry scene. Eberhart wrote a piece published in the September 2, 1956, New York Times Book Review entitled "West Coast Rhythms". LaVerne Clark (author photograph) (illustrator). Signed.…
