Max Michelson (1880–1953) was an American, imagist poet closely associated with Harriet Monroe and Poetry magazine. Life and careerMichelson was a childhood immigrant to America from Lithuania and settled in Chicago, working as a furrier. Later, in 1920 he moved to Seattle, 'soon after his arrival there, a mental hospital had to be his refuge'[1] and there he was to stay until he died, in obscurity, in 1953.[2] Michelson, in addition to becoming an Imagist poet, reviewed poetry for the noted Poetry magazine.[3] Harriet Monroe, the editor thereof said of Michelson 'he was a fine poet, a fine artist, offering deep searching in the beauty and mystery of life, always with a sure touch upon his finely tuned instrument, poetic rhythms of accurately responsive beauty,[4] ' a furrier whose equisite sensibility transcended the demands of his trade, and finding Michelson's delicate talent, quiet presence, helpful in the office routine and his judgement of new poets, suggestive'.[5] Monroe, later, included five of Michelson's early poems in her 1918 'New Poetry - an anthology'[6] and published in Poetry his 'The Tired Woman' - a ' present day myth play.[7] Michelson's Imagist poem 'Midnight' was included in William Pratt's acclaimed anthology of Imagist poetry, ' The Imagist Poem - Modern Poetry in Miniature, 1963.[8]See also
