Theodore Roethke Life

Theodore Huebner Roethke (RET-kee, 1908-1908 – August 1, 1963) was an American poet.

Roethke's career has been characterized by its introspection, rhythm, and natural imagery.

In 1954, he was named in the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his book The Waking, and in 1959 for Words for the Wind and posthumously in 1965 for The Far Field. Roethke was "in my opinion the best poet this country has ever produced," Poet Laureate and Author James Dickey wrote. "Roethke was also a well-known poetry instructor."

For fifteen years, he taught at the University of Washington.

Two Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry were given to his students from that time, and two others were nominated for the honor.

"He was probably the finest poetry-writing instructor ever," poet Richard Hugo, who studied under Roethke, said.
