Autorenporträt
Howard Moss was the poetry editor of The New Yorker for almost forty years, a role that he used to promote the work of then-little-known poets such as Anne Sexton, Richard Wilbur, and Sylvia Plath. Hugely influential on American poetry as we know it today, Moss was also a poet himself, as well as a literary critic and professor at Vassar.
