Monroe, Harriet1860-1936Born in Chicago. Graduated at Visitation Academy, Georgetown, D.C., March, 1891. Miss Monroe was chosen to write the ode for the dedication of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1892. After some years in literary work, chiefly as an art critic, Miss Monroe founded, in October of 1912, `Poetry; A Magazine of Verse’, an organ which has done much to stimulate interest in poetry and also its production, since it has become the recognized vehicle for the work of the newer school. The first “Imagist” poems appeared in its pages and it was the first to print the work of Carl Sandburg and other well-known poets of the poetic revival. Miss Monroe is the author of “Valeria and Other Poems”, 1892; “The Passing Show, Modern Plays in Verse”, 1903; “You and I”, 1914, and was co-editor, with Alice Corbin Henderson, of “The New Poetry”, an anthology, 1917.
