Nelson Bentley (1918 – 1990) was an American poet and professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, whose works have left an impression on the Seattle literary scene. He was born in Elm, Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan receiving his bachelor's then his master's degree there. Bentley studied under W. H. Auden. He was a friend and colleague of Theodore Roethke, among other Northwest poets who created a distinct regional voice. In his forty years as a professor he conducted workshops, hosted readings at literary venues around the city and on radio and public television, juried poetry contests, edited poetry for journals and newspapers, and was a co-founder of Poetry Northwest and The Seattle Review. Although he was a fine poet in his own right, he believed his own greatest accomplishment to be his work in teaching hundreds of other poets who published in nationally recognized poetry outlets. He founded the Castalia Reading Series, which started at the University of Washington in the mid-seventies and continues today. ==Bibliography== * ''The Flying Oyster: The Collected Comic Apocalypses'', Bellowing Ark Press, 1997 * ''The Collected Shorter Poems'', Bellowing Ark Press, 1988 * ''Snoqualmie Falls Apocalypse'', Confluence Press, Lewiston, 1981 * ''Iron Man of the Hoh'', Copper Canyon Press, Port Townsend, 1978 * ''Moosecall'', Jawbone Press, 1977 * ''A Day at North Cove'', Raven's Mask Press, Seattle, 1974 * ''Grayland Apocalypse'', Bonefire Press, Seattle, 1972 * ''Sea Lion Caves and Other Poems'', from "New Poetry Series," Alan Swallow, Denver, 1967 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「Nelson Bentley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
