MacLeish won his first Pulitzer in 1933 for his long poem "Conquistador" and a second in 1952 for his Poems 1924-1952." His third Pulitzer in 1958 was for the verse play "J.B." The play, along with several others he wrote, were produced on Broadway. He also authored a number of radio and television dramas.

leaving his family in Chicago, he went to Mexico to retrace the steps of the Spanish forces. "Conquistador," published in 1929, was the result. "Poetry is a means of knowing," MacLeish said during a 1976 television interview. "It's a means of knowing the kind of thing that can only be known emotionally that can't be analyzed, taken apart, spelled out, and put back together again. "Its great triumph is that when it succeeds, which it does much less often than it thinks or anybody else thinks, it makes the unbearable bearable because one sees it at last.

One feels it." MacLeish had made the point many years before. In one of his most famous poems, "Ars Poetica," written in 1926, he said, "A poem should not mean, but be." Active role in politics MacLeish believed artists and professionals should take an active part in politics. In a 1948 address, he referred to the cold war between the Soviet Union and the Western powers and said: "It is a 'war' of which the battlefield i is men's minds the minds of all men everywhere and in which the weapons are the things by which men's minds are moved."
