Women Resources

If you're just starting to read her poetry, this is a great introduction to Louise Bogan and her work.

Read more about Bogan's work from a host of critics.

Bogan was decidedly pre-YouTube, but here's one of her videos illustrated. As a bonus, it features her reading the original poem.

What she might lack in a video presence, Bogan more than makes up for in audio recordings. Here she is reading our poem.

Don't…miss Bogan reading this poem. (Get it? Miss? Mark? Hello? Is this thing on?)

Louise would like to talk to you about nature's helicopters.

Here she is, looking a little perturbed.

Don't smoke, kids, even if Louise did.

Louise looks a little suspicious of whoever took this photo.
