Born on a hardscrabble farm in the Adirondack Mountains in 1879, she was hailed as an important voice in American poetry by 1916 when her first books of verse, \u003ci\u003eNeighbors of Yesterday\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWild Apples\u003c\/i\u003e were published. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe had early success as a model--she was the Harrison Fisher girl of 1903--and later became a journalist for the \u003ci\u003eAmerican Review of Reviews.\u003c\/i\u003e In 1918, she met John Quinn, patron of the arts, which placed her in the middle of some of the most important literary and artistic movements in the twentieth century. She counted among her friends John Butler and William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, Pablo Picasso, and Constantin Brancusi. This book reveals her dark affair with Aleister Crowley and her great friendship with Tomas Masaryk of Czechoslovakia. Today, Jeanne Foster lies buried in Chestertown, New York, next to her old friend John Butler Yeats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Londraville, Janis Londraville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081560730X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815607304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.36w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/29\/2001 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 1049\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 221","brand":"Richard Londraville","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980608897279,"sku":"9780815607304","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f598642-5d1e-4eb6-b35f-ba86c9192b4c.jpg?v=1683250882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dear-yeats-dear-pound-dear-richard-londraville-9780815607304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
