Charlotte Mew
Charlotte Mew (1869-1928) was an English writer notable for her short well-crafted, highly original poetry. She published short stories and essays in several periodicals before publishing the lyric poetry that secured her reputation. Her first book of poems, The Farmer’s Bride (1916) was praised for its natural, direct language, including Wessex country dialect. The Rambling Sailor (1929) was a posthumous collection of 32 previously uncollected poems.
