Alfred Francis Kreymborg was an American poet, novelist, playwright, literary editor and anthologist. He was born in New York City, the son of a cigar-store owner. A master chess player by age ten, he also played mandolin and piano before turning his energies to poetry.
He was one of the first American poets to embrace free verse and prose poetry, Kreymborg later returned to strict formal verse, making his work—at once political and imagistic—difficult to classify as a whole. He published more than a dozen collections of poetry during his lifetime.

I sing the will to love:
the will that carves the will to live,
the will that saps the will to hurt,
the will that kills the will to die;
the will that made and keeps you warm,
the will that points your eyes ahead,
the will that makes you give, not get,
a give and get that tell us what you are:
how much a god, how much a human.
I call on you to live the will to love.
