Great Poets – A Collection of my favorites

Edgar A. Guest, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Helen Steiner Rice. Poets I love! These are poems from some of my favorite writers.

Edgar Albert Guest

I was first introduced to the poetry of Edgar Guest when I was ten years old.  I fell in love with his writings and still have the book “Collected Verse” by Edgar Guest that was given to me as a child.

Edgar Albert Guest (August 20, 1881, Birmingham, England – August 5, 1959, Detroit, Michigan) (aka Eddie Guest) was a prolific American poet who was popular in the first half of the 20th Century and became known as the People’s Poet.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850–October 30, 1919) was an American author and poet. Her best-known work was Poems of Passion. Her most enduring work was “Solitude”, which contains the lines: “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone”. Her autobiography, The Worlds and I, was published in 1918, a year before her death.   (From Wikipedia)

Helen Steiner Rice (1900 – 1981) was an American writer of religious and inspirational poetry.

Helen Steiner was born in Lorain, Ohio on May 19, 1900. Her father, a railroad worker, died in the influenza epidemic of 1918.

She began work for a public utility and progressed to the position of advertising manager, which was rare for a woman at that time.   She also became the Ohio State Chairman of the Women’s Public Information Committee of the Electric Light Association, and campaigned for women’s rights and improved working conditions.  Visit her official site here.
