Return to the United States

Poet involved

What happened

In 1911, Alan Seeger returned to the United States after spending time in Paris, where he briefly reconnected with his family in New York City. This return was short-lived as he soon felt the pull of adventure again.

Literary impact

This brief return to the U.S. allowed Seeger to reflect on his experiences abroad, which would later inform his poetry. The contrast between his life in Paris and New York City deepened his appreciation for the artistic freedom he sought.
