EDGAR A. GUEST
The only ever Poet Laureate of Michigan signs his name in black ink
Signature: "Edgar A. Guest" in black ink. 3½x2¼ card. Edgar Guest (1881-1959) was born in England, but moved with his family to the US in 1891 and became a US citizen in 1902. A long-time employee of the Detroit Free Press, he worked his way up from copy boy to reporter to syndicated poet appearing in over 300 newspapers. He wrote over 11,000 poems and published more than 20 collections, beginning with A Heap o' Livin' (1916). His rhymed and metered poems, brimming with sentimental optimism, were scorned by some critics but loved by the general public. Well known examples included "Home" and "See It Through." Guest hosted shows on radio (1931-1942) and television (1951). The only person ever named Poet Laureate of Michigan, he was the great uncle of novelist Judith Guest. Toned. Soiled. Toned stain in top margin. Corners rounded. Pencil notes on verso in unknown hand. Frayed tears on verso due to adhesive. Otherwise, fine condition.
