My favourite poet

The poems which I would be most interested read would be ones written by this poet, Lorine Niedecker. Based on my information, she have worked as a library assistant before, as well as a stenographer and proofreader for Hoard's Dairyman, and a cleaning woman. She married at the age of 25, but broke up and later remarried at the age of 60. She was also a rather shy lady I would say as her relatives and neighbours did not even know that she was writing poems.

Based on the above facts, we can see that she has experienced many things in her life and I personally feel that her poems would be very different and unique from other poems. Her poems were not very good at first, but they improved at the later part of her life. Critics have even said that she has good ,vivid imagery, and spare language. Some of her poems include Blue Chicory (1976), From This Condensery: The Complete Writings of Lorine Niedecker (1985), and The Granite Pail: The Selected Poems of Lorine Niedecker (1985).
