Vintage Poems by Maine Writer,
By
This review is from: The Complete Poems of Sarah Orne Jewett (Ironweed American Classics) (Paperback)
"Jewett (1849-1909) published some 35 poems during her lifetime, scattering them among the popular magazines and newspapers of her day. Of the 40 poems (in this book), nine were intended for children, all written during the outset of her career when Jewett devoted herself largely to juvenile literature. Most of the adult poems were published between 1878 and 1887." (from the Foreword to the book)
I found the children's poems fairly sentimental and mostly about dolls, but they have a certain vintage charm to them. Of the adult poems, I really liked On Star Island best, with its images of a deserted church on an abandoned island off Maine. |
