Autorenporträt
Ella Wheeler Wilcox was born on November 5, 1850, in Johnstown, Wisconsin, to Marcus Hart Wheeler and Ellen Wheeler. Renowned for her accessible and emotionally resonant poetry, she became one of the most popular literary voices of her time. Her work reflected optimism, moral reflection, and a deep belief in the transformative power of love and kindness. Early in her life, Wilcox displayed a passion for writing, contributing poems to local newspapers before achieving national recognition. Her celebrated collection Poems of Passion and the widely quoted poem Solitude captured the human desire for connection and the bittersweet contrast between joy and sorrow. She often used her art to inspire compassion, self-reliance, and spiritual growth. Married to Robert Wilcox in 1884, she found in him both companionship and creative support. Her later years were marked by philosophical inquiry and a turn toward mysticism, reflected in her prose and essays. Wilcox passed away on October 30, 1919, in Short Beach, Connecticut, leaving behind a legacy of heartfelt poetry that continues to resonate with readers.
