The empty box is found later with a taunting poem inside. * Notorious American poetaster Julia A. Moore publishes her second collection, ''A Few Choice Words to the Public'', but unlike her bestseller of 1876, ''The Sweet Singer of Michigan Salutes the Public'', it finds few buyers. Moore gives her second public reading and singing performance late this year at a Grand Rapids opera house. She begins by admitting her poetry is "partly full of mistakes" and that "literary is a work very hard to do". After the poetry and the laughter and jeering in response is over, Moore ends the show by telling the audience: Her husband eventually forbids her from publishing any more poetry and in 1882 moves the family north. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1878 in poetry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
