John Anthony Ciardi was born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He was an American poet, translator and professor. While primarily known as a poet, he also translated Dante's Divine Comedy, wrote several volumes of children's poetry, pursued etymology, contributed to the Saturday Review as a columnist and long-time poetry editor, and directed the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Vermont. Ciardi's impact on poetry is perhaps best measured through the younger poets whom he influenced as a teacher and as editor of the Saturday Review. He earned a BA degree from Tufts University in 1938. He earned an MA degree from the University of Michigan in 1939. He served as a professor at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, Harvard University, and Rutgers University. He wrote several poems include: Homeward to America, Person to Person, The Little That Is All, Limericks, Too Gross (with Isaac Asimov), For Instance, A Grossery of Limericks (with Isaac Asimov), and The Birds of Pompeii.
