{i} (1911-1983, born Thomas Lanier Williams) 20th century United States author playwright and poet
After attending several colleges he graduated from the University of Iowa (1938). He first won recognition for his group of one-act plays American Blues (1939).

A clear-sighted chronicler of fragile illusions, he is regarded as one of the greatest American playwrights
