Timeline
James Marcus Schuyler (November 9, 1923 – April 12, 1991) was an American poet.
Schuyler moved to New York City in the late 1940s where he worked for NBC and first befriended W. H. Auden.
After graduating high school, Schuyler attended Bethany College in West Virginia from 1941 to 1943, though he was not a very successful student; in a later interview, he recalled, "I just played bridge all the time."
In 1947, he moved to Ischia, Italy, where he lived in Auden's rented apartment and worked as his secretary.
Between 1947 and 1948, Schuyler attended the University of Florence.
From 1955 to 1961, he was a "curator of circulating exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art".
He was also an editorial associate and critic for Art News.
While working as an editorial associate, Schuyler wrote criticism about a large amount of art.
From 1961 to 1973 Schuyler lived with Fairfield Porter and his family in Southampton, Long Island.
Porter became an influence for Schuyler as well, and he dedicated his first major collection, Freely Espousing, to Anne and Fairfield Porter.
Schuyler is noted for his ability to take things that are "normal" and bring out their greatness.
He takes a look at things that many people may not see, or care to take note of, such as individual raindrops.
He evaluates the ordinary and the way it works in relation to other things: "It's the water in the drinking glass the tulips are in./ It's a day like any other."
Schuyler was responsible for writing Frank O'Hara's elegy, "Buried at Springs".
Schuyler recalls Ralph Waldo Emerson's transcendentalism, and uses nature to express himself in the elegy.
Schuyler also has several works that are about, or that reference lists.
In his Diary, Schuyler says that he is "more of a reader than a writer", and "everything happens as I write".
Schuyler also received the Longview Foundation Award in 1961, and the Frank O'Hara Prize for Poetry in 1969 for Freely Espousing.
He also coauthored a novel, A Nest of Ninnies, with John Ashbery in 1969.
His awards include the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his 1980 collection The Morning of the Poem.
James Marcus Schuyler was the son of Marcus Schuyler (a reporter) and Margaret Daisy Connor Schuyler.
Born in Chicago, he spent his teen years in East Aurora, New York.
In 1981 he was said to have recalled "that he found Auden's elaborate formalism 'inhibiting'."
This was likely an influence to his own "conversational style and proselike line".
While living in New York, Schuyler found inspiration in the art world.
Schuyler received the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his 1980 collection The Morning of the Poem.
Schuyler was a Guggenheim Fellow, a fellow of the American Academy of Poets, and a 1985 recipient of the Whiting Award.
In a spring 1990 special issue of the Denver Quarterly that was written by Barbara Guest in devotion to Schuyler's work, Guest refers to Schuyler as an "intimist," saying:
"... for me Jimmy is the Vuillard of us, he withholds his secret, the secret thing until the moment appears to reveal it. We wait and wait for the name of a flower while we praise the careful cultivation. We wait for someone to speak, and it is Jimmy in an aside."
Schuyler's move to Italy, as Auden's typist, was accompanied by his intention of writing.
In April 1991, at age sixty-seven, Schuyler died in Manhattan following a stroke.
His ashes were interred at the Little Portion Friary (Episcopal), Mt. Sinai, Long Island, New York.
Schuyler was not known for revealing much about his personal life.
Schuyler was manic depressive, underwent several years of psychoanalysis and withstood many traumatic experiences.
One of these includes a "near death experience" in a fire which he caused by smoking in bed.
In an interview that was published in spring 2002, he said, "I did learn an awful lot during those years, and then went on in the 60s writing occasional articles about specific artists and their specific strategies. Partly it was to make money, and partly because I wanted to write about painting, about art."
His time as an art critic, then, became a major inspiration to his work.
