Lorine Niedecker


Poet of Place

Lorine Niedecker

I think lines of poetry that I may use โ€” all day long and even in the night.

โ€“ Lorine Niedecker, speaking to Cid Corman shortly before her death in 1970.

One of the finest American poets at all, besides being easily the finest female American poet โ€ฆ Lorine Niedecker never fails; whatever she writes is excellent.

โ€“ Basil Bunting

Ann Engelman and Lisa Fishman hold the plaque for the National Historic Register and the plaque with a poem.
