KARL SHAPIRO
He inscribes and signs his scathing poem, "The Aunt."
Poem inscribed and signed: "To Dave Buram/best wishes,/Karl Shapiro" in green ink, 8½x11. His 4-verse poem, The Aunt. American poet Karl Shapiro (1913-2000) published his first collection, Poems in 1935, his last, The Wild Card, in 1998. He wrote several volumes of poetry while serving in the US Army Medical Corps during World War II, winning a Pulitzer Prize for in 1945 for Essay on Rime while serving in the South Pacific. Although he taught for most of his life, he condemned domination of American poetry by tradition-bound academics. Termed "the bourgeois poet" by a hostile critic, he embraced the term, using it as a title for his 1964 book. Before his death Shapiro completed two volumes of a projected 3-volume autobiography.
