Frank Stuart Flint (1885-1960) was an American poet, essayist, and critic. He was born in New York City and educated at Harvard University. He was a member of the Harvard Poetry Society and the Harvard Advocate. Flint's first book of poetry, The New World, was published in 1915. His other works include The Poetry of the Present (1917), The Poetry of the Future (1919), and The Poetry of the Past (1921). He also wrote several essays and reviews for The New Republic, The Nation, and The Dial. Flint was a major influence on the modernist movement in American poetry. He was a friend and mentor to many of the leading poets of the time, including T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and Wallace Stevens. He was also a major influence on the Imagist movement, which sought to create a new kind of poetry that was more direct and accessible. Flint's work was praised by many of his contemporaries, including William Carlos Williams, who called him "the most important American poet of his generation." He was also an important figure in the development of American literary criticism, and his essays on poetry and literature are still widely read today.
