4 “My novel about the Isle of Pines has been somewhat blown to pieces by that blasting letter of yours. However I am busy thinking up plots for Smart Set stories. You see, I want to make my literary work bring me in a living by the time I reach twenty-five and one cannot begin too soon.” (Letter to his mother, Oct. 6, 1917.)

I am really getting a reputation for poetry and can find space now in at least two magazines for most of my better work.” (Letter to his mother, Oct. 26, 1917.)

34 Crane had written his father a six-line letter on Oct. 20, 1923 requesting that his father telephone him on the occasion of his next New York visit. Mr. Clarence A. Crane regarded this letter as an aggressive unaffectionate note after three years of silence on Crane’s part (Letter, Oct. 27, 1923, C.A.C. to H.C.). Crane replied on Nov. 13th, informing his father of his trip to Woodstock. His father’s letter acknowledged that he viewed the Nov. 13th letter as a sign of friendship, and stated that he would be in New York sometime in 1924 (Letter, Dec. 10, 1923, C.A.C. to H.C.). On account of business expansion and relocation problems, it seemed doubtful that Crane’s father would be in New York as expected. Accordingly, in a letter of Jan. 7, 1924, he offered his son a travelling salesman’s job. After three years of satisfactory performance, his son would assume control of the wholesale portion of the business. This letter of Jan. 12, 1924, is Hart Crane’s response to the offer. His father responded sympathetically; he sent his son a check, stated that he would continue to provide financial assistance, recognized the sincerity and wisdom of his son’s choice, and attempted to demonstrate a similarity between them by asserting that he (like his son) was primarily interested in “accomplishment” rather than “money” (Letter, Jan. 15, 1924, C.A.C. to H.C.). Hart Crane viewed his father’s letter of the 15th as a “sincere and cordial document” (Letter, Jan. 19, 1924, H.C. to his mother).
35 “And there have been other complications which may afford you the pleasure of vindictiveness against my ideas and standards....” (Letter, Feb. 14, 1924, H.C. to C.A.C.) Crane’s father resented this remark, and denied ever being able to derive pleasure from such an attitude to his son’s life and work. He explained his attitude as a failure to understand how his son could ever hope to support himself unless he took his advertising work seriously, and stated that he would be more sympathetic if his son were to regard his writing as an “avocation” rather than a “vocation,” a hobby similar to the pastime of “golf.” (Letter, Feb. 21, 1924, C.A.C. to H.C.) In the letters which follow Hart Crane’s rejection of a place in his father’s business, the elder Crane appears bitterly hurt that his son doesn’t want to work with him. At the same time, he makes it quite clear that he has a genuine affection for his son, and reiterates that he does not question the devotion to poetry, only its inability to provide financial returns. Later, in a letter of Nov. 25, 1925, he introduces the point that he believes his son to be interested in “pleasure,” rather than in following his own example of a man who “worked strenuously.”

40 Crane had asked his father for money in a letter of Nov. 4, 1925. His father responded with a check for $50, accompanied by a letter in which he expressed resentment at his son’s contemptuous tone and was himself sarcastic at his son’s expense. (Letter, C.A.C. to H.C., Nov. 17, 1925). Replying to this letter of Nov. 21, 1925, C.A.C. denied being uninterested in his son’s life, denied that “‘fate’” had caused their estrangement, and put the blame on his son instead. He reiterated his belief in the necessity for earning a living and putting writing on a subsidiary level, and expressed a desire for friendlier relations in the future. (Letter, C.A.C. to H.C., Nov. 25, 1925.)

70 The manuscript of “The Broken Tower” alluded to here was apparently never received by Mr. Zabel or Poetry (Chicago), of which he was an editor. A letter from Mr. Zabel, dated April 24, 1932, in response to this note from Crane, has been found; it explicitly states that the poem in question was not received either by Harriet Monroe or himself. It is of interest that Crane’s ms. copy of the poem is dated March 25, 1932.
