About the author
Payson Sibley Wild
1869–1951
Best remembered for warm, witty verse about American country life, this early-20th-century writer also moved easily through Chicago’s literary and book-loving circles. His surviving works suggest a lively mix of poetry, classical interests, and affectionate humor.
