About the Author
Laura Riding is surely one of the most mysterious and neglected poets of the twentieth century. Although she is unknown to most casual readers of poetry, Kenneth Rexroth has said that "Laura Riding is the greatest lost poet in American literature." Riding was born in New York City and educated at show more Cornell University. Her work appeared in the 1920s in numerous small literary magazines, including The Fugitive. In 1925 she went to Europe, where she and Robert Graves ran the Seizin Press in Majorca. In 1939 she returned to the United States, renounced poetry, and since then has lived in Florida writing studies on the nature of language with her husband, Schuyler Jackson.
