Amy Clampitt, the American poet, was born on June 15, 1920. Like so many artists she had roots in the middle west and fled to New York. Her poetry has won her a Guggenheim, and a MacArthur award. But according to her friends, Clampitt does not discuss her successes. She talks about stuff like a rare flower she spotted, or a stray cat she rescued.
