After that he taught English at the University of Pittsburgh spent some time teaching in South Carolina where he met Dubose Heyward who became a close friend and collaborator. He published widely both poety and novels including a poetry collection that won the Yale Younger Poets award; his novel "Anthony Adverse" 1933 is probably his best known and most accomplished work considered one of the great examples of the modern historical novel.
