Phoebe Cary

Phoebe Cary ( September 4, 1824 in Mount Healthy / Ohio; † July 31, 1871 in New York City ) was an American poet.

Phoebe Cary grew up on the Clovernook farm that was known by the stories told by her older sister Alice Cary. She began writing poetry at seventeen, and Rufus W. Griswold took some of her poems into his collection The Female Poets of America and arranged the publication of the 1849 volume of poetry Poems of Alice and Phoebe Cary.

1851 she followed her sister to New York, where both led a joint household. A short time she worked with Susan B. Anthony in the journal The Revolution. While the importance of her sister is now seen primarily in their role as narrator, Phoebe is considered the most significant poet. After the first joint collection of poems both sisters published independently. Posthumously gave Mary Clemmer Ames several volumes with compilations of posthumous poems both out.
