You know, I had no idea, though come to think of it, it's pretty darned obvious, isn't it? I like his poetry well enough, but all I know about him personally was that he was an Easterner and something of a drunk, and that could describe half of the American poets of the 20th century (with most of the rest being Midwesterners and drunks). The popular theory has it that Gorey was gay as an Easter egg, but he doesn't seem to have ever dated anyone at all, so who can be sure? Strange man. And I really need to stop wondering what sort of feverishly arty hijinks they got up to, let loose on an unsuspecting Harvard. snerk

Heck, they'd probably get kicked off the Cape if they didn't. Those are essential reading for impressionable young minds.
