 | | A native of Maine, Louise Bogan grew up in an unsettled household owing, in part, to her mother's marital infidelity. |
 | | Moving to New York City, Bogan began her life as a writer in earnest, collaborating with such major modernist writers as William Carlos Williams, Malcolm Cowley, Lola Ridge, John Reed, Marianne Moore, and Edmund Wilson, who coached Bogan in professional reviewing that gave her an income. |
 | | Bogan's achievement as a poet, however, did not go unrecognized, and she received a Bollingen Prize in 1955, and awards from the Academy of American Poets (1959) and the National Endowment for the Arts (1967). |
