Howard Moss (January 22, 1922 – September 16, 1987) was an American poet, dramatist and critic. He was poetry editor of ''The New Yorker'' magazine from 1948 until his death and he won the National Book Award in 1972 for ''Selected Poems''.〔 ==Biography== Moss was born in New York City. He attended the University of Michigan, where he won a Hopwood Award. He is credited with discovering a number of major American poets, including Anne Sexton and Amy Clampitt. W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman co-wrote a famously concise clerihew in his honor: ;TO THE POETRY EDITOR OF THE NEW YORKER :Is Robert Lowell :Better than Noël :Coward, :Howard? According to Edmund White, Moss was a closeted homosexual,〔Kat Long, "Edmund White's New York", ''The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide'', Jan-Feb 2010, p. 21.〕 a notion exploited in White's thinly-disguised roman à clef, ''The Farewell Symphony'', in which the character "Tom" is a prominent New York poetry editor; the "closet" characterization is at odds with the memory of literary friends who remember Moss as openly gay. Moss died of a heart attack related to AIDS. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howard Moss」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
