Dillon, George (1906–68), while an undergraduate at the University of Chicago became an editor of Poetry . The poems in Boy in the Wind (1927), published the year of his graduation, have a soft musical quality. The Flowering Stone (1931), a more vigorous work, won a Pulitzer Prize (1932). His later works are translations, of Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil (1936) with Edna St. Vincent Millay, and of Racine's Three Plays: Andromache, Britannicus, Phædra (1961).
