Poets Wall Born September 9, 1878, Adelaide Crapsey was a Vassar College alumna (1901).
She began a career in education as a History and Literature teacher in Kenosha, WI.,
then went to Rome for a year to study archaeology. She returned to teaching at Smith College in
Massachusetts, but failing health, in the form of tuberculosis, cut her career short. In 1913,
she began to write her "Cinquains," five-line stanzas in the strictest possible structure
(the lines having, respectively, two, four, six, eight and two syllables). She died on October 8, 1914
at the age of 36. |
