About Hilda Conkling
Hilda Conkling, born October 8, 1910 in Catskill-on-Hudson (New York State) and died June 26, 1986 in Northampton, was an American poet. She published three collections of poems during her lifetime: “Poems by a Little Girl” in 1920 with a preface by Amy Lowell, “Shoes of the Wind” in 1922, and “Silverhorn” in 1924. Her poems also appear in the anthologies “Silver Pennies” in 1925 and “Sing a Song of Popcorn” in 1988. Long before her first book, she was published in magazines such as Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, The Delineator, Good Housekeeping, The Lyric, St. Nicholas Magazine, and Contemporary Verse. Most of Hilda's poems are nature-themed; sometimes simply descriptive, other times with elements of fantasy. Other predominant themes include her love for her mother, stories, dreams from the previous day, and illustrations from books she enjoys.Browse all poems and texts published on Hilda Conkling
