Hardcover. Condition: Good. LIFE STUDIES BY JANS MATZENE, VIEWS BY EUGENE J. HALL (illustrator). BEAUTIFUL BOOK WITH WONDERFUL ARTWORK. Ella Wheeler was born in 1850 on a farm in Johnstown, Wisconsin, east of Janesville, the youngest of four children. The family soon moved north of Madison. She started writing poetry at a very early age, and was well known as a poet in her own state by the time she graduated from high school. A popular poet rather than a literary poet, in her poems she expresses sentiments of cheer and optimism in plainly written, rhyming verse. Her world view is expressed in the title of her poem "Whatever Is¿Is Best", suggesting an echo of Alexander Pope's "Whatever is, is right." Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850 October 30, 1919) was an American author and poet. Her works include Poems of Passion and Solitude, which contains the lines "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone." Her autobiography, The Worlds and I, was published in 1918, a year before her death.NICE LOOKING GRAY COVER, GOLD AND BLACK DESIGN WITH RED FRONT AND SPINE.
