Theodore Roethke's Life and Career
He was born Theodore Huebner Roethke in Saginaw, Michigan, the son of Otto Roethke and Helen Huebner, owners of a local greenhouse.
He is a student at Saginaw‘s Arthur Hill High School. Roethke demonstrated early promise in a speech on the Junior Red Cross少年红十字会that was subsequently published in twenty-six languages. The poet’s adolescent years were jarred, however, by the death of his father from cancer in 1923, a loss that would powerfully shape Roethke‘s psychic and creative lives. From 1925 to 1929 Roethke distinguished himself at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, graduating magna cum laude. [’mæɡnəkum‘laudei, -kʌm’lɔ:di] (拉)以优异学业成绩
Resisting family pressure to pursue a legal career, he quit law school after one semester and, from 1929 to 1931, took graduate courses at the University of Michigan密歇根大学and later the Harvard Graduate School, where he worked closely with the poet Robert Hillier。
The hard economic times of the Great Depression forced Roethke to leave Harvard and to take up a teaching career at Lafayette College拉斐特学院 from 1931 to 1935. Here he met Rolfe Humphries, who introduced him to Louise Brogan; during these years Roethke also found a powerful supporter, colleague, and friend in the poet Stanley Kuntz.
In the fall of 1935 Roethke assumed his second teaching post at Mich
