You are both correct!!! Auden was born in Englad and sent to school through univeristy in the UK, after that he lived in Germany, and during the Spanish Civil War he served as an ambulance driver. Auden immigrated to the United States in 1939 (he became an American citizen in 1946)

Ben, just so you know, Wystan Hugh Auden is not an American poet. He was born in York, England in 1907.
