Hemingway's poetry, which he published only during the first decade of his career, appeared almost exclusively in "little magazines." This poetry has never garnered much scholarly attention, and Hemingway himself often downplayed its value or significance. His unwillingness to claim the poems, the early date of their publication, and their striking parallels to developments in his prose writing all indicate that the poems were part of the author's training as a writer. These poems thus serve as an important archive of his apprenticeship, revealing information not only about the development of his style but about the formulation of his authorial persona.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
