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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Londraville\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of literature at the State University of New York at Potsdam. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanis Londraville\u003c\/b\u003e, a literary historian and Fellow at the Center for Independent Scholars, Associated Colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley, is the editor of \u003ci\u003eOn Poetry, Painting, and Politics.\u003c\/i\u003e They are coeditors of the book \u003ci\u003eToo Long a Sacrifice: The Letters of Maud Gonne and John Quinn.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.93 x 9.24 x 6.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42689747451967,"sku":"9780815607304","price":21.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2c49ccd1100a772f8a9068207709fa08.webp?v=1764986565","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/dear-yeats-dear-pound-dear-ford-jeanne-robert-foster-and-her-circle-of-friends-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
