Jacob Hauser
Jacob Hauser was an American poet.
His work appeared in Poetry.[1][2] He was a 1936 Guggenheim Fellow.[3] In 1948, he mimeographed poems, which he gave away.[4]
He criticed Modernist literature as
anti-democracy...[which] tolerates no departure from its inflexible requirement of distorted, pathological incoherence. leading warriors and agents of the Revolution ... founded the court wherein all literary aspirants and offenders are tried and sentenced according to a code in whose making they had no share.... The verdict of ‘Literary decapitation!’ will issue inexorably.[5]
