biography Weldon Kees - extra credit

I researched the biography of Weldon Kees based on the poem "For My Daughter." Weldon Kees began publishing in 1934 and sold multiples of stories during 1934-1945. The biography of the poet relates to the poet's sonnet to some extent. The poem was written in 1940 during that time he was still married to his wife Ann Swan. In the poem the poet is referring to a daughter that he never had, coming to a closure that perhaps his wife was not able to have kids theirfor he was never able to experience the role of being a father which could have caused him to become depressed and no long want one , "I have no daughter. I desire none." (Kees 14). Shortly after, Weldon and his wife Ann divored in 1952, for all one knows that could have been the reason for their seperation.
