(1887-1952) was a poet of New York’s early twentieth century Yiddish Renaissance. She lived in Manhattan from 1913 on, and her work, though steeped in Rilke-like Expressionism, fully engaged the modern American reality of New York City, from the stores on Fifth Avenue to the El trains to the socialists, gangsters, and artists of the Lower East Side. In six unambiguously lesbian poems, two of them lengthy, all of them autobiographical, she gaves splendid expression to her love for other women. After publishing a single volume of poetry, acclaimed in the Yiddish-speaking world, she turned her back on literature and functionally committed suicide. Her last published poem was her own epitaph.
