# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in April 1770, Wordsworth teamed with Samuel Taylor Coleridge to publish Lyrical Ballads in 1798, the collection that launched the Romantic Age in English literature. His life's central work was The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded repeatedly; known to friends as "The Poem to Coleridge," it was published only after his death by his wife, who gave it the title it now carries. He was named Poet Laureate in 1843 and held the post until he died of pleurisy seven years later, on 23 April 1850.
