Ernest Hemingway never wished to be widely known as a poet.
He recast parts of Poems by the likes.
He parodied the Poems and sensibilities of Rudyard Kipling, Joyce Kilmer, Robert Graves, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Gertrude Stein.
Through verse he expressed anger and disgust--at Dorothy Parker and Edmund Wilson, among others.
But his poetry deserves close attention, if only because it is so revealing.
He concentrated on writing short stories and novels, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1956.
