Amelia Josephine Burr (19 November 1878 – 15 June 1968) was an American poet. Born in New York City, she was educated at and graduated from Hunter College (New York). She worked for the Red Cross in 1917-18. She married Reverend Carl H. Elmore of Englewood, New Jersey. She was described as a "popular lyricist, whose work yet flashes with genuine poetic feeling" and was reputed to have traveled widely. A contemporary source commented, "Her adventures in the Orient have colored her work, and with energy and charm she succeeded in getting to know much concerning the natives and their customs wherever she went. Much of her verse must, of course, be classed as balladry, and it is as a balladist that she has gained a wide audience, but, especially in her later work, there is much more than graceful appeal." ==Poetical works== * ''A Roadside Fire,'' 1913 * ''Afterglow,'' a poem 1913 * ''In Deep Places,'' 1914 * ''Life and Living'' 1916 * ''The Silver Trumpet'' 1918 * ''Hearts Awake: The Pixy, A play,'' 1919 :The above two volumes relate chiefly to World War I * ''A child garden in India, for very little people: Verses'' 1922 * ''Little houses: A book of poems'' 1923 * ''Selected lyrics'' 1927 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「Amelia Josephine Burr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
