About the author

Payson Sibley Wild

1869–1951

A Chicago man of letters with a deep love of the classics and a light touch in verse, this early-20th-century writer moved easily between literary history, Latin-inspired wit, and poems of American rural life. His books range from a study of Horace’s world to playful, pastoral pieces that first appeared in newspaper columns.
