Edgar Bowers (/ˈbaʊ.ərz/; March 2, 1924 – February 4, 2000) was an American poet who won the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 1989 and two Guggenheim fellowships.[1] In selecting Mr. Bowers, the judges cited his 1973 work, ''Living Together: New and Selected Poems,'' saying that it ''cemented Mr. Bowers's reputation as a poet of enduring work.'' Harold Bloom declared Bowers one of the 20th century’s masters.[2][1]
