Rupert C. Brooke (1887-1915) was an English poet who was close to the Bloomsbury Group, the Georgian poets, and was one of the Dymock poets which included Robert Frost and Edward Thomas. He is known for his idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War, especially "The Soldier". He was also known for his boyish good looks, which were said to have prompted the Irish poet W. B. Yeats to describe him as "the handsomest young man in England". He deployed with the British Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Feb. 1815 and died in Egypt in April of that year.

The Lives of Artists Collected Profiles by Calvin Tomkins
Located in New York, NY
The definitive collection of artist profiles by legendary journalist and New Yorker writer Calvin Tomkins, from the 1960s to today
In 1959, Calvin Tomkins interviewed Marcel Duchamp for Newsweek, beginning his six decade- long career writing about art.
