About the author
Nancy Buckley was an American poet associated with San Francisco literary circles in the early 1920s. Her first known collection, Laughter and Longing, appeared in 1921 and had reached a third edition by the following year, according to the foreword to her second collection.
Her second book, Wings of Youth, was published by the Cloister Press in San Francisco in 1922, with an introduction by writer W. C. Morrow. The poems explore love, memory, spiritual feeling, dreams, homesickness, and the beauty of the natural world.
