"He brought symbolist-inflected poetry and drama to the US, became a respected art critic publishing in Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Work and Alfred Kreymborg's Others, wrote some of the earliest English-language haiku, and even became a Hollywood showman later in life, famously playing the court magician in Douglas Fairbanks's The Thief of Bagdad.
