Theodore Vernon Enslin (March 25, 1925 – November 21, 2011) was an American poet[1] associated with Cid Corman's Origin and press.
His teacher, Nadia Boulanger, was the first person to recognize his ability as a writer and encouraged him to pursue his interest in poetry.
Enslin moved to Maine in 1960 and had lived in Washington County ever since, working at odd jobs and making and selling handmade walking sticks.
The Maine landscape forms an integral part of his poetry, as does its isolation, both geographic and in terms of distance from literary fashion and the academy, on the physical margin of the United States.
A bibliographical checklist of Enslin's works was prepared by Robert J. Bertholf and published in 2017.
