Clement Richardson Wood (September 1, 1888 - October 26, 1950) was a highly acclaimed American poet, critic, and poetry teacher. His poem "The Glory Road" was made famous in a song by Lawrence Tibbett. His other writing includes The Craft of Poetry and Hunters of Heaven. He graduated from the University of Alabama in 1909 and received his law degree from Yale in 1911. Wood's second marriage was to Gloria Goddard, who wrote the Susan Merton series of adventures under the pen name "Louise Logan." He also had at least one son, John Thornton Wood. Wood mainly wrote poetry. He also wrote Tom Sawyer Grows Up, a sequel to Mark Twain's work. He appeared frequently in pulp magazines, in titles as diverse as Telling Tales, Gangster Stories, Flynn's, and Ace-High Magazine. His story "The Coffin" was included in The Best Short Stories of 1922. In 1929, he wrote the biography, Bernarr Macfadden: A Study in Success, in aid of Macfadden's political aspirations. Wood was a member of the Socialist Party of America and ran for mayor of Birmingham in 1913 as the party's nominee.
