- Arthur Wheelock Upson (January 10, 1877 – August 14, 1908) was an American poet. He was born in Camden, New York, on January 10, 1877, to Spencer Johnson Upson and Julia Claflin. His family moved from New York to Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1894, with Upson entering the University of Minnesota with the class of 1898. There, he served as editor of the campus newspaper, the Minnesota Daily. Unable to complete the requirements for a degree due to his ill health, he was later awarded a degree in 1906 due to his literary success, becoming an instructor there the same year. Upson reworked the song "Hail! Minnesota", at the request of the school's president Cyrus Northrop, the song later becoming the state song of Minnesota and the alma mater of the University of Minnesota. Upson died at age 31, drowning after falling from his boat in Lake Bemidji, Minnesota, on August 14, 1908. His body was found after he had been missing for two days. The boat which he fell from had capsized and had lacked one of its oars. It was suspected that Upson's death was a suicide, as he already attempted suicide only three years before. Upson was mourned as having been a highly promising artist, with the young Sinclair Lewis writing an editorial obituary that exalted Upson, comparing him to a Keats or a Chatterton. His collected poems, edited with an introduction by fellow poet Richard Burton, were published in 1908. Burton also published "an elegy on the death" of Upson in 1910 entitled a Midsummer Memory.

- Arthur Upson (ur. 1877, zm. 1908) – amerykański poeta. Urodził się 10 stycznia 1877 w dystrykcie Camden w Nowym Jorku. Kiedy poeta miał siedemnaście lat rodzina przeprowadziła się do Saint Paul w stanie Minnesota. Artur zaraz zapisał się na University of Minnesota. Na uczelni wydawał studenckie pisemko Minnesota Daily. Z powodu słabego zdrowia miał problemy z ukończeniem studiów. W 1906 uzyskał dyplom w trybie nadzwyczajnym w uznaniu jego literackich zasług. Miał wtedy 29 lat. Zmarł tragicznie w wieku 31 lat 14 sierpnia 1908. Utonął w jeziorze Bemidji w Minnesocie. Nie wiadomo, czy był to wypadek, czy celowe działanie. Wydał między innymi Westwind Songs (1902), Octaves in an Oxford Garden (1902), The City, a Poem Drama, and Other Poems (1905). W 1902 wraz z George’em Nortonem Northropem opublikował tomik Poems. W 1909 ukazały się The Collected Poems of Arthur Upson, a w 1911 wydano Sonnets and Songs. Jednym z ważniejszych dzieł poety jest dramat The Tides of Spring. (pl)
