Howard Futhey Brinton

Howard Futhey Brinton was an American poet born in 1872. He is documented in library and archive records as the author of The Pacifist, and Other Poems, a collection published in 1918.

The surviving record available online is fairly limited, but the poems themselves suggest a writer interested in both public questions and ordinary human character. The title poem points to an engagement with war and conscience, while other pieces show a wider range of moods, including humor and social observation.

Because reliable biographical sources on him are scarce, many personal details are hard to confirm with confidence. What can be said clearly is that his writing has been preserved through major public-domain and library collections, which has allowed modern readers to rediscover his work.
