The block was made by Jon Kolbert (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open Proxy: Webhost: Contact stewards if you are affected . Start of block: 20:12, 23 July 2019 Expiry of block: 20:12, 23 January 2022 Your current IP address is 40.76.139.33 and the blocked range is 40.76.0.0/16. Please include all above details in any queries you make. If you believe you were blocked by mistake, you can find additional information and instructions in the No open proxies global policy. Otherwise, to discuss the block please post a request for review on Meta-Wiki or send an email to the stewards OTRS queue at stewards@wikimedia.org including all above details. You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia due to a block affecting your IP address. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages. Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. See below if you do not believe you have done anything wrong. Editing from 40.76.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪SQL‬ for the following reason(s): The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN. We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in. If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption. If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider. Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator. This block has been set to expire: 16:25, 2 June 2023. Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators. For information on how to proceed, first see the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

S. Eliot]] and his ''[[The Waste Land]]'' (1922), [[Robert Frost]] and his ''[[North of Boston]]'' (1914) and ''[[New Hampshire (poetry collection)|New Hampshire]]'' (1923), [[Hart Crane]] and his ''[[White Buildings]]'' (1926) and the epic cycle, ''[[The Bridge (long poem)|The Bridge]]'' (1930), [[Ezra Pound]],''[[The Cantos]]'' (1917–1969). [[William Carlos Williams]] and his epic poem about his New Jersey hometown, ''[[Paterson (poem)|Paterson]]'', [[Marianne Moore]], [[E. E. Cummings]], [[Edna St. Vincent Millay]] and [[Langston Hughes]]. Pound's poetryis complex and sometimes obscure, with references to other art forms and to a vast range of literature, both Western and Eastern.Noel Stock, ''The Life of Ezra Pound'' (1970) He influenced many other poets, notably [[T. S. Eliot]] (1888–1965), another expatriate. Eliot wrote spare, cerebral poetry, carried by a dense structure of symbols. In ''[[The Waste Land]]'', he embodied a jaundiced vision of post–World War I society in fragmented, haunted images. Like Pound's, Eliot's poetry could be highly allusive, and some editions of ''The Waste Land'' come with footnotes supplied by the poet. In 1948, Eliot won the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]].Hugh Kenner, ''The invisible poet: TS Eliot'' (1965). ====Post-World War II==== Among the most respected postwar American poets are: [[John Ashbery]], the key figure of the surrealistic [[New York School (art)|New York School]] of poetry, and his celebrated ''[[Self-portrait in a Convex Mirror (book)|Self-portrait in a Convex Mirror]]'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1976); [[Elizabeth Bishop]] and her ''North & South'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1956) and "Geography III" (National Book Award, 1970); [[Richard Wilbur]] and his ''Things of This World,'' winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for Poetry in 1957; [[John Berryman]] and his ''The Dream Songs'', (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1964, National Book Award, 1968); [[A.R. Ammons]], whose ''Collected Poems 1951-1971'' won a National Book Award in 1973 and whose long poem ''Garbage'' earned him another in 1993; [[Theodore Roethke]] and his ''[[The Waking]]'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1954); [[James Merrill]] and his epic poem of communication with the dead, ''[[The Changing Light at Sandover]]'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1977); [[Louise Glück]] for ''The Wild Iris'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1993) and ''Faithful and Virtuous Night'' (National Book Award, 2014), who is additionally the only living American author publishing primarily written poetry awarded the [[Nobel prize in literature]];[https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2020/summary/] [[W.S. Merwin]] for ''The Carrier of Ladders'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1971) and ''The Shadow of Sirius'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 2009); [[Mark Strand]] for ''Blizzard of One'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1999); [[Robert Hass]] for ''Time and Materials,'' which won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award for Poetry in 2008 and 2007 respectively; and [[Rita Dove]] for ''Thomas and Beulah'' (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1987).
