Louise Guiney
Dates: January 7, 1861 - November 2, 1920
Occupation: poet, writer
Guiney, born in Massachusetts, was part of Boston's "aesthetic revival" in the 1890s. Her Roman Catholicism and her literary conservatism -- looking backwards to Romantic, 17th century and Civil War poets -- were reflected in her sentimental style. After a number of years of travel to and from England, she settled there in 1901. She's known today in part for her role in "discovering" Khalil Gibran.
