Timeline

1918

William Bronk (February 17, 1918 – February 22, 1999) was an American poet.

William Bronk was born in 1918 in a house on Lower Main Street in Fort Edward, New York.

He had an older brother, Sherman, who died young, and two older sisters, Jane and Betty.

Their mother was a homemaker and their father ran his business, Bronk Coal and Lumber, in Hudson Falls.

The children all attended local public schools.

Bronk attended Dartmouth College for higher education, being admitted at age 16.

He took graduate classes at Harvard for another semester.

He said later that he "decided I couldn't take any more of that."

Bronk was drafted into the Army soon after the United States entered World War II.

After serving as a private, he was admitted to OCS, and was commissioned as an officer after completion of the program.

1945

He was honorably discharged from the Army in October 1945.

He first taught English at Union College, Schenectady, New York.

1946

He left Union in June 1946 and returned to Hudson Falls.

During the latter half of 1946, he completed work on The Brother in Elysium.

1947

In January 1947 Bronk took over management of the Bronk Coal and Lumber Company, which he had inherited in 1941 when his father died unexpectedly.

1978

Although he intended this work to be temporary, he ran the business for 30 years, retiring in 1978.

Bronk said that the poems emerged in his mind as he went through the business of the day.

When one was ready, he put it on paper, working in longhand rather than at a typewriter.

As his manuscripts attest, he seldom rewrote or modified a poem once he wrote it on paper.

1981

For his book, Life Supports (1981), he won the National Book Award for Poetry.

He was also a veteran of World War II and a businessman.

After teaching at Union College for a brief period, he took over the family business of Bronk Coal and Lumber after his father's early death.
