Edwin Arlington Robinson was an American poet who won three Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry. He is best known for his narrative poems and character studies that often depict the lives and struggles of ordinary people in small-town America. Arguably his most famous work, 'Richard Cory' is a poem about a wealthy man who seemingly has everything but still takes his own life.
