Few More Verses

Susan Coolidge wrote the beloved "What Katy Did" series, but her poetry reveals a more private voice. "Few More Verses" gathers her later work: poems of domestic life, quiet observation, and tender reflection. Here are verses about children at play, changing seasons, the comfort of home, and the small moments that slip past unremarked unless someone captures them. Coolidge writes with a Victorian woman's particular attention to duty and feeling, yet her voice carries unexpected lightness and humor. These are not grand meditations but something rarer: the poetry of attention itself, finding dignity in ordinary things.
