He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to a socially prominent family. After attending Phillips Academy, Andover Fletcher went on to mostra altro Harvard University from 1903 to 1907, when he dropped out shortly after his father's death. Fletcher's poetic works included: The Black Rock (1928), Selected Poems (1938), for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1939, South Star (1941), and The Burning Mountain (1946).
