Margaret Widdemer - The Old Road to Paradise: "He Must Have Been Delightful," She Said, "when He was Alive!"
Margaret Widdemer was born on September 30th, 1884 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Asbury Park, New Jersey. She graduated from the Drexel Institute Library School in 1909. Margaret first gained recognition with her poem 'The Factories', and its subject of child labor. In 1919, she married Robert Haven Schauffler, a widower five years her senior who was an author and cellist and published widely on poetry, travel, culture, and music. That same year she won the Pulitzer Prize (then still known as the Columbia University Prize) for this collection 'The Old Road to Paradise'. The award was shared with Carl Sandburg for 'Cornhuskers'. Margaret's career was long and prolific covering poetry, adult and children's fiction and some self-help guidance books. Her friendships covered such authors as Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald, T. S. Eliot, Thornton Wilder, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Margaret Widdemer died in New York City, on July 14th, 1978.
The Rose-Garden Husband
The Rose-Garden Husband is an affectionate tale about the "Liberry teacher" Phyllis and the invalid named Allan who she marries. Excerpt: "The Liberry Teacher lifted her eyes from a half-made catalogue card, eyed the relentlessly slow clock, and checked a long wriggle of purest, frankest weariness. Then she gave a furtive glance around to see if the children had noticed she was off guard; for if they had she knew the whole crowd might take more liberties than they ought to, and have to be spoken to by the janitor."

In Pursuit of Spring
Spring was late in 1913 and Edward Thomas decided to go and search for winter's grave and the tell-tale signs of season's turn - he set out to cycle westwards from London to the Quantocks. Edward Thomas 1878-1917 turned from writing prose to poetry in 1914. His work as a poet has been widely celebrated and admired - Ted Hughes described Thomas as "the father of us all". The Pursuit of Spring, originally published in 1914, bridges the divide between Thomas the journalist/critic and Thomas the highly regarded poet.
