Kathleen Tankersley Young
Kathleen Tankersley Young (August 15, 1902–April 9, 1933) was an American writer, poet, and editor active in publishing during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Although her work has received relatively little attention from scholars and publishers since her death, she published her poetry widely in the poetry magazines of her day and corresponded with a wide circle of literary friends, acquaintances, and collaborators. The literary scholar Eric White has written of Young: "Almost forgotten by literary history, Kathleen Tankersley Young's name appears like a cipher through little magazines of the late 1920s and early 1930s, and in anthologies of Harlem Renaissance and American women's poetry." In 2022 a volume consisting of the bulk of her works was published, entitled ''The Collected Works'' of Kathleen Tankersley Young. Life Kathleen Tankersley Young was born in Texas on August 15, 1902. She married Henry Coulter Young on February 1, 1921. This first marriage ended when Henry ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carl Rakosi
Carl Rakosi (November 6, 1903 – June 25, 2004) was the last surviving member of the original group of poets who were given the rubric Objectivist. He was still publishing and performing his poetry well into his 90s. Early life Rakosi was born in Berlin and lived there and in Hungary until 1910, when he moved to the United States to live with his father and stepmother. His father was a jeweler and watchmaker in Chicago and later in Gary, Indiana. The family lived in semi-poverty but contrived to send him to the University of Chicago and then to the University of Wisconsin–Madison. During his time studying at the university level, he started writing poetry. On graduating, he worked for a time as a social worker, then returned to college to study psychology. At this time, he changed his name to Callman Rawley because he felt he stood a better chance of being employed if he had a more American-sounding name. After a spell as a psychologist and teacher, he returned to social w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
