Newspaper Poets

Newspaper Poets: Or Waifs And Their Authors is a book written by Alphonso Alva Hopkins and published in 1876. The book is a collection of poems that were published in various newspapers across the United States during the 19th century. Hopkins, a poet and journalist himself, compiled the poems and included biographical information about the poets who wrote them. The book provides a glimpse into the lives and works of lesser-known poets of the time, many of whom were women, African American, or from working-class backgrounds. The poems cover a range of topics, including love, nature, religion, and social justice. The book is a testament to the power of poetry to capture the human experience and to the importance of recognizing the contributions of all voices in the literary canon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
