 Louise Bogan (1897-1970)
Introducing Bogan's more general literary career--and perhaps ideas from her essays, reviews, and Ruth Limmer's edited autobiography--will enrich students' understanding of the difficulties women faced as writers and the extraordinary success some achieved as editors (cf.

Bogan was born, in the bordering village of Chisholm, my great-grandparents, Charles Ouellette and Claudia Soucy Ouellette, then the parents of three young children, purchased a tiny parcel of land on Main Street, later building their modest home burrowed near rocky ledges, across from the Otis Paper Mill.
Bogan resided in New York City most of her adult life and was poetry editor and critic for The New Yorker from 1931 to 1970.
Bogan once lived amongst the shadows of the river valley, perched on the crest of Munsey Avenue; like the native Maine Chickadee her voice was never heard over the paper millís own melodies.

 Érudit | RON n29-30 2003 : Sweet : “Under the subtle wreath”: Louise Bogan, Felicia Hemans, and Petrarchan Poetics1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Louise Bogan joked that in a former life she had been “Felicia Hemans.” A lush Romantic and an austere Modernist, Hemans and Bogan appear polar opposites, yet these learned women poets shared a laureate poetics of Love and Fame.
Bogan aimed to unbraid “the line of feeling” sustained by women poets from the “sentimentality” that she found false and that in any case was antithetical to her lyric modernism.
Bogan’s dalliance with “the line of feeling” means that Love in particular will be what she will seem to abjure, like Petrarch turning to the rocky dell of his Provençal retreat to escape from Laura--where he then writes about her.

The autumn before she died, Louise Bogan at last severed her connection with The New Yorker magazine after thirty-eight years as its poetry reviewer.
But Bogan's decision to make this break was also the result of having struggled, for almost all of those thirty-eight years, against a yet more humbling resistance to completing the work at hand.

Louise Bogan--who has been described as a poet's poet, whose work W.H. Auden described as drawing "beauty and truth out of dark places"--lived a typically tumultuous life (allowing for certain Philip Larkinesque exceptions, most poets in the twentieth century seem to have lived unpredictable and, it must be said, exciting lives in the byronic tradition).

A native of Maine, Louise Bogan grew up in an unsettled household owing, in part, to her mother's marital infidelity.

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).
