Richard Ghormley Eberhart (April 5, 1904-May 9, 2005) was an American poet who published more than a dozen books of poetry and about twenty works in total.

"Richard Eberhart emerged in the 1930s as a modern stylist with romantic sensibilities." Selected Poems won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1930–1965, and Collected Poems was awarded in 1977 by the National Book Award for Poetry.

He was the grandfather of former Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington.

Early years

Eberhart was born in 1904 in Austin, a small city in southeast Minnesota. Since partitioned into hundreds of residential lots, he grew up on an estate of 40 acres (16 ha) called Burr Oaks. Burr Oaks Press published a collection of poems in 1947, and many of his poems refer to his time in rural America.

Eberhart began writing poetry at the University of Minnesota in 1921, but after his mother's death from cancer in 1921—the cause that prompted him to write poetry — he moved to Dartmouth College. After graduation, he worked as a ship's hand in other occupations before moving to St. John's College, Cambridge, where I.A. Richards encouraged him to continue writing poetry and study a little more. Eberhart, a professor who worked as a private tutor to King Prajadhipok of Siam's son, 1931-1923, embarked on graduate study at Harvard University. Eberhart met and talked with T. S. Eliot during his Harvard days.

In 1930, A Bravery of Earth, his first book of poetry, was published in London. It related to his time in Cambridge and his time as a ship's hand. "The Groundhog," one of his best-known poems, is included in Reading the Spirit, which was published in 1937.

He taught at St. Mark's School (1933-1941), where Robert Lowell was one of his students. Helen Butcher married him in 1941. They had two children.

He attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander during WWII and served in the United States. "The Fury of Aerial Bombardment," one of his first three stanzas, is in effect a prayer, according to the Naval Reserve; this experience prompted him to write another one of his most popular poems, "The Fury of Aerial Bombardment."

Poems: New and Selected, containing "The Fury of Aerial Bombardment" and other poems written during his service, including "Dam Neck, Virginia" and "World War II," was published in 1945. War and the Poet: An Anthology of Poetry Expressing Man's Reactions to the Present, the first collection of poems based on war.

Eberhart served with the Butcher Polish Company, his wife's floor wax business, for six years after the war. After the war in 1947 and Brotherhood of Men in 1949, Burr Oaks was his first work to be published. In 1950, he was a patron of the Poets' Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

From the beginning of 1950s to his retirement, he dedicated himself to writing poetry and teaching at universities of higher education, including the University of Washington, Brown University, Swarthmore College, Tufts University, University of Connecticut, University of Connecticut, University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and Dartmouth College. He spent 30 years at Dartmouth as a professor of English and poet-in-residence, where he was known for his encouragement of young poets.

Eberhart's book Undercliff: Poems 1946-1953, which contained Fragment of New York in 1953. Eberhart produced a number of dramatic works in the 1950s and early 1960s that were not widely distributed. The Apparition, The Visionary Farms, Triptych, The Mad Musicians, and Devils and Angels were among the exhibits on display. Collected Verse Works was published in 1962.

By The New York Times, Eberhart was sent to San Francisco to cover Beat poetry. Eberhart wrote "West Coast Rhythms" in the New York Times Book Review, published in September 2, 1956, which brought national attention to the Beat generation, and particularly Allen Ginsberg as the author of Howl, "the most moving poem of the young group." Ginsberg credited Eberhart's book with "breaking the ice" for the Beats in terms of getting them published.

In 1959, President Dwight Eisenhower appointed Eberhart as a member of the National Cultural Centre's Advisory Committee on the Arts. Eberhart, a poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1959–61, was named a Bollingen Prize in 1962.

Gretchen Cherington, Eberhart's daughter, accused him of sexual assault in her book Poetic License.

The Quarry: Letters in verse from W. H. Auden and William Carlos Williams, as well as elegies, lyrics, character sketches, and monologues, were included in the W. H. Auden and William Carlos Williams collection. The Pulitzer Prize was won by selected poets from 1930 to 1965 (1965). In 1977, Collected Poems, 1930–1976 (1976), received the National Book Award. Poet Laureate from 1979 to 1984, Eberhart served as the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1982.
