Now I've read it. Wow. Yes, she's very Kiplingesque. A lot of war poems - ranging from Indian fighters to WWII; quite a few love poems, though most of them were about a lost love. Some biographical - Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln. I had a hard time reading as I got into the book, because I kept having to wipe away the tears - very moving images, very strong emotions behind her poems.
So she only published one other collection of poems - need to find that. And the children's book sounds interesting. And there's a college library with her papers and a bunch of unpublished poems...maybe someday. Maybe they'll digitize them! Hmmm, she's sort of addictive, isn't she? I'm going to lend this book to my mother.

And then there are the poems that are the opposite of racist - that say (in what was an unusual opinion for her times) that black people are people too. Like Kipling, she's complicated. And the stories in her poems don't get any less rich for being familiar.… (mais)
