This autographed 1947 edition of “Poems of Praise” by Agnes Wilkins Cross offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of a lesser-known but talented 20th-century American poet. Cross, who lived from 1891 to 1954, was part of the New England literary scene and drew inspiration from her Christian faith and the natural world around her. Though not as widely celebrated as some of her contemporaries, her lyrical and introspective verses have been praised for their deep spirituality and vivid imagery. This particular copy, bearing the author’s signature, holds special value for collectors of inscribed works and those with an interest in the religious poetry of the early-to-mid 20th century. Despite some expected wear to the hardcover, the clean interior pages and secure binding make this an attractive addition to any poetry lover’s library, allowing them to explore Cross’s evocative and uplifting verses in their original published form.
