Paris lived up to his expectations, and he fell in love with the place. Two years passed before Alan realized that his life in New York wasn’t what he thought it would be, so again, with the help of his friends, he left to explore and live in Paris, France.
His father was understandably against his decision, but Alan pushed through with it and continued writing poetry, couch-surfing from one generous friend’s house to another, including John Reed, a known journalist and Marxist revolutionary. Fresh from school, wide-eyed and idealistic, he moved to New York in Greenwich Village to live out his dream of bohemian life, living as a wanderer instead of pursuing a professional career. He graduated with a BA as part of class 1910. There, he joined the Harvard Daily as an editor, where he also published many of his poems. As for Alan, he had a way with words and studied at Harvard with poetry legends like T.S Eliot. His younger sister Elizabeth became an author in New York City. His elder brother Charles became a noted musicologist (and would later become the father of American folk singers Pete, Mike, and Peggy Seeger). His father was an influential actor in the late 19th century. Alan Seeger grew up in a family of artists in varied forms.
