Robert Peters
Robert Louis Peters (October 20, 1924 – June 13, 2014) was an American poet, critic, scholar, playwright, editor, and actor born in an impoverished rural area of northern Wisconsin in 1924. He holds a Ph.D in Victorian literature.〔
〕 His poetry career began in 1967 when his young son Richard died unexpectedly of spinal meningitis. The book commemorating this loss, ''Songs for a Son'', was selected by poet Denise Levertov to be published by W. W. Norton in 1967, and it still remains in print. ''Songs for a Son'' began a flood of poetry.

After army service during World War II, he enrolled at University of Wisconsin, majoring in English. He received his B.A. in 1948, his M.A. in 1949 and his doctorate in 1952. His teaching career took him to Wayne State University, Boston University, Ohio Wesleyan, University of Idaho, University of California, Riverside, and then University of California, Irvine, where he first taught in 1967. His field of study was Victorian literature. In addition to publishing numerous articles and monographs, he edited, with Herbert Schueller, the letters of John Addington Symonds. Peters received a Fulbright Fellowship to Cambridge, England in the 1960s to work on Symonds' letters. In 1965, he published ''The Crowns of Apollo'', a scholarly study on Algernon Charles Swinburne.〔(Crowns of Apollo )〕 After Peters' ''Songs for a Son'' was published, he devoted more time to writing and study of contemporary poetry. Fellow poets Charles Wright and James McMichael and novelist Oakley Hall taught poetry at UC Irvine during this time and shared directorship of the university's well-known Master of Fine Arts program.
