Titanic Poem {Anyone know who wrote it?}greenspun.com : LUSENET : TitanicShack : One Thread |
Many years ago in high school, we were taught a fairly long poem about the Titanic. I don't remember the title or author but remember it had many rhymes and was lengthy. I remember it specifically mentioning the Carpathia. Can anyone tell me the name and author of this poem and where I might obtain a copy?

There's a poem called "Titanic" in "American Poetry: The Twentieth Century, Volume One: From Henry Adams to Dorothy Parker," the first of two wonderful volumes publislhed by The Library of America. It is listed under a short section of poems whose authors are unknown.

E.J. Pratt wrote an epic poem of the Titanic. Canadian poet.

Could be Thomas Hardy's "Convergence of the Twain" (Lines on the Loss of the 'Titanic.") Written in 1912.

Actually, it probably was Pratt's poem; Hardy's doesn't mention the Carpathia.

The poem, The Titanic was written by E. J. Pratt. The poem is really long and i am studying it in class.
