About Aileen Fisher
Aileen Lucia Fisher (1906 – 2002) was an american poet and writer. Her poems have been anthologized many times and are frequently used in textbooks. In 1978 she was awarded the second National Council of Teachers of English Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children. According to Fisher, Poetry is a rhythmical piece of writing that leaves the reader feeling that life is a little richer than before, a little more full of wonder, beauty, or just plain delight. And, despite the great variety found in her writing, she thought of herself primarily as a poet. My first and chief love in writing is writing children's verse, she said.Browse all poems and texts published on Aileen Fisher
