Did any great 20th century Anglo American modernist poets have normal good lives. No awful husbands, impetuous wife abandoning/institutionalization, fascism, etc. Wallace Stevens was normal, right? Insurance executives aren’t weird.

Stevens comes closer to being a “man of his time” bigot than, e.g. Eliot or Lovecraft. But anecdotes in Parts of a World make it clear many of his coworkers disapproved of his bigotry but he flaunted it anyway—literally enjoyed “triggering the libs.”
