| Poet and writer, born in New York City, New York, USA. She studied at Barnard College (1917 BA), and lived in New York City. She went on to lecture at the New School for Social Research (1933–5), Columbia University (1944–71), and at many other institutions. She is known as a translator of Russian poetry, often in collaboration with her husband, Avrahm Yarmolinsky, as an editor and critic, and as a writer of adult and juvenile fiction. Most importantly, however, she is praised as an intelligent and perceptive poet, as in The Collected Poems of Babette Deutsch (1969). |
