 About 
 William Stafford: Born in Hutchinson, Kansas, 
 William Stafford (1914-1993) won the 1963 
 National Book Award for Poetry for his collection 
 of poetry, Traveling Through the Dark. 
 He was later named Consultant in Poetry to the 
 Library of Congress (1970) -- a position now 
 known as Poet Laureate -- and Poet Laureate 
 of Oregon (1975). He won the Western States 
 Book Award for lifetime achievement in poetry 
 in 1992. Stafford taught at Lewis & Clark College 
 in Oregon for over 20 years, and his poetry 
 has been likened to that of Robert Frost: 
 deceptively simple at first but offering a 
 deep and complex vision upon further contemplation.\n
