Lorine Niedecker Centenary Exhibit

Appleton Public Library will host the Lorine Niedecker Centenary Exhibit from March 7-27, 2004 at the first floor west wing exhibit space. The Fort Atkinson Historical Society and the Friends of the Dwight Foster Public Library sponsor this traveling exhibit and it celebrates the life and work of poet Lorine Niedecker. Lorine was born in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin on May 12, 1903 and became a poet of world renown. She has been called a "poet of place" because her poetry is grounded in the area where she lived. Although her work is already well known nationally and internationally, this exhibit hopes to inform Wisconsinites of her work. She is considered possibly the state's greatest poet. The exhibit is open for viewing during regular Library hours and is free. For further research, the following sources are available at Appleton Public Library:
