This article highlights the great democratic poet Edwin Arlington Robinson in relation to his works. According to the author, Robinson was an art poet who did think of himself as a literary man, set apart from the masses of the illiterate, the unliterate, or the aliterate. However, he wrote about ordinary people, and they can understand him. The author stresses that people still love to read his work due to the fact that he makes the language dance in their ears and teaches them something about themselves and the condition of being human.
