诗人趣闻： 十二位著名诗人和他们（白天的）正职
12 Famous Poets and Their Day Jobs --By Matt Petronzio/May 01, 2013
Artists often need to supplement their incomes with something a little more substantial, and that especially goes for poets. For instance, did you know that Robert Frost ran a dairy farm to earn some extra cash? Or that Maya Angelou sang calypso music in a nightclub?
In this comic, on the last day of National Poetry Month, Grant Snider of Incidental Comics shows us several other poets' day jobs. Which one surprises you the most?
Snider makes a few clarifications:
•Wallace Stevens wasn't just any ordinary insurance salesman — he was an executive at an insurance company.
•Philip Larkin was a librarian at the University of Hull.
•Emily Dickinson had no known career other than poetry, but "her sister Lavinia was cat-obsessed. So Emily must have been forced to cat-sit occasionally."
You can purchase Snider's comics as prints through his poster shop.

威廉斯给娃娃看病的，叶芝个变戏法的，斯蒂文斯卖了个保险的，布可夫斯基给你送信的，玛雅·安吉罗个夜场唱歌的，麦尔维尔是个立志叉鱼的，拉金是干我朝太祖干过的那行的，弗罗斯特做农民挺失败的，艾略特在银行数钱的，凯鲁亚克轧铁路的，聂鲁达是搞外交的，狄金森奶奶是个养猫的。
是不是很搞笑呢~~~
