| Poet, born in Brooklyn Heights, New York, USA. She studied at Vassar (1897–1901), then went to Rome, where she studied archaeology (1904–5). She returned to the USA to work as a schoolteacher (1902–4, 1908), and lived once again in Rome (1908–13). Using an innovative verse form called cinquains, she anticipated the Imagist poets, as seen in her Verses (1915). She died of tuberculosis at a sanatorium in Saranac Lake, New York. |
