You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Edgar Bowers''' (((IPAc-en|ˈ|b|aʊ|.|ər|z)); March 2, 1924 – February 4, 2000) was an American [[poet]] who won the [[Bollingen Prize in Poetry]] in 1989.<ref>[http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/edgar-bowers "Edgar Bowers"], Poetry Foundation. Retrieved March 19, 2014.<br>- ((cite web|url=https://poets.org/poet/edgar-bowers| title=Edgar Bowers|website=Poets|accessdate=June 21, 2021))</ref>

==Biography==
Bowers was born in [[Rome, Georgia]], in 1924. During [[World War II]], he joined the military and worked in [[counter-intelligence]] against [[Germany]]. He graduated from the [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]] in 1950 and did [https://www.jstor.org/stable/40218065 graduate work] in [[English literature]] at [[Stanford University]]. Bowers published several books of poetry, including ''The Form of Loss'', ''For [[Louis Pasteur]]'' and ''The Astronomers''. He won two fellowships from the [[John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation|Guggenheim Foundation]] and taught at [[Duke University]] and the [[University of California, Santa Barbara]].

In Bowers's obituary, the English poet [[Clive Wilmer]] wrote, "The title poem of his 1990 collection, ''For Louis Pasteur'', announces his key loyalties. He confessed to celebrating every year the birthdays of three heroes: Pasteur, [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] and [[Paul Valéry]], all of whom suggest admiration for the life of the mind lived at its highest pitch—a concern for science and its social uses, and a love of art that is elegant, cerebral and orderly." Another aspect of Bowers is highlighted by [[Thom Gunn]] on the back of Bowers's ''Collected Poems'': "Bowers started with youthful stoicism, but the feeling is now governed by an increasing acceptance of the physical world." That 'physical world' encompasses sex and love which are refracted through his restrained and lapidary lines. The effect of this contrast is striking: at once balanced and engaged; detached but acutely aware of sensual satisfactions. Bowers's style owes much to the artistic ethos of [[Yvor Winters]], under whom Bowers studied at Stanford, but his achievement far surpasses that of his mentor, and his other students, such as [[J. V. Cunningham]].((citation needed|date=November 2020)) He often wrote in rhyme, but also produced some of the finest [[blank verse]] in the English language. He wrote very little (his ''Collected Poems'' weighs in at 168 pages), due no doubt to the careful consideration behind every single line. But that care never forecloses on the wilder aspects of human existence—the needs, joys and violence.

Bowers retired in 1991 and died in [[San Francisco]] in 2000.
