I think Adelaide Crapsey is an unsung poet. I love her cinquains, and many of them are among some of my all time favorite poems. She only wrote 26 cinquains (she seems to have been the creator of the "American cinquain", which was based on Japanese tanka). She died of tuberculosis at the relatively
Curiosity about short-form poetry led me to Ms. Crapsey's cinquains. The quality of her writing kept me around for the remainder of book. I wish there were more by her to read. Sad she died so young.
Some of her poems are really genius. Highly recommend.
A lovely if short collection of poetry published after Adelaide's passing. I generally felt more attracted to her shorter pieces. What originally drew me to the author and her book was her cinquain (also known as a quintain) November Night.
A Cinquain is a short poetic form derived from Haiku & Tanka
I found Adelaide Crapsey in a book of collected verses, and so I found her collected works on Amazon. Excellent collection.
