He attended public school in Cedar Rapids. As a teenager, Engle had his first real job behind the soda fountain counter in the neighborhood pharmacy. In his memoirs, he described the experience as his “window into the whole area.” He also took part in the family’s business, training horses.  \nAfter graduating from Washington High School, he enrolled at Coe College. Engle graduated from Coe in 1931 with a major in English. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and graduated Cum Laude with departmental honors. His thesis was an extended essay on the relations of John Keats and Leigh Hunt. He obtained his masters from the University of Iowa in 1932. His master’s thesis was a volume of poems titled Worn Earth which was published by Yale University Press in the same year, winning the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award. His thesis was one of the first instances in American higher education of a creative piece being accepted. Engle spent two years at Columbia University and won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University. While at Oxford he studied under the poet, Edmund Blunden, earning a Bachelor of Arts A.B. from Merton College, Oxford in 1936. A Master’s in Arts A.M. degree followed in 1939.  \nWhile still in England, his second volume of poems, American Song, was published. J. Donald Adams on page 1 of the New York Times Book Review, proclaimed Engle “A New Voice in American Poetry”(July 29, 1934) . Adams closed his lengthy review with this statement.“Paul Engle is a poet to be watch[ed], a writer who will play his part in the resurgence of creative force that will mark this decade in our literary history.” On July 3, 1936, Engle married Mary Nissen, a former neighbor in Cedar Rapids. They exchanged vows at the Oxford Registry Office. The marriage produced two daughters – Mary and Sara, but ended in divorce in 1970.  \nEngle returned to the University of Iowa in 1937 as a faculty member in the English department with a focus on poetry. In 1941, he assumed the acting director’s position of the Writer’s Workshop replacing Wilbur Schramm who was serving in the military. He became the director the next year, and is credited with developing the workshop into the premier writing program in the world over the next quarter of a century. He resigned as director in 1965.  \nIn 1967, Engle co-founded the International Writing Program at of the University of Iowa with Hualing Ni","cbCaig3KIc9YUYZO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig3KIc9YUYZO","pdf",581676,1,72,"English","en",105,"# Collection Summary\n## Administrative Information\n## Biographic Note\n## Scope and Content","[{\"question\":\"What institutions hold the Paul Engle Papers collection?\",\"answer\":\"The collection is housed in the George T.
