Stanton A. Coblentz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanton A. Coblentz (August 24, 1896 - 1982) was an American author and poet. He received a Master's Degree in English literature and then began publishing poetry in the early 1920s. His first published science fiction was "The Sunken World," a satire about Atlantis, in Amazing Stories Quarterly in July, 1928. The following year, he published his first novel, The Wonder Stick. But poetry and history were his greatest strengths. Coblentz tended to write satirically and his style seems ever new. He also wrote books of literary criticism and nonfiction on historical subjects. "The Literary Revolution" and "The Poetry Circus" will long be remembered in centuries to come. Adventures of a Freelancer: The Literary Exploits and Autobiography of Stanton A. Coblentz was published the year after his death.
