Louis O. Coxe Life

Louis Osborne Coxe (April 15, 1918 – May 25, 1993) was an American poet, playwright, essayist, and professor who was largely unnoticed in lyric poetry, according to the Academy of American Poets for his "long, influential, quiet achievement, largely unrecognized." Billy Budd's dramatic interpretation, which opened on Broadway in 1951, was certainly best known for his dramatic interpretation.

Early life and education

Born in Manchester, New Hampshire, in 1918, but raised in Salem, Massachusetts, (where his family had lived since 1640), Coxe was educated at St. Paul's School. He graduated from Princeton University in 1940 and wrote his senior thesis on Edwin Arlington Robinson.
