/ The Worst American Poet                 \
|                                         |
| Julia Moore, "the Sweet Singer of       |
| Michigan" (1847-1920) was so bad that   |
| Mark Twain said her first book gave him |
| joy for 20 years.                       |
|                                         |
| Her verse was mainly concerned with     |
| violent death -- the great fire of      |
| Chicago and the yellow fever epidemic   |
| proved natural subjects for her pen.    |
|                                         |
| Whether death was by drowning, by fits  |
| or by runaway sleigh, the formula was   |
| the same:                               |
|                                         |
| Have you heard of the dreadful fate     |
|                                         |
| Of Mr. P. P. Bliss and wife?            |
|                                         |
| Of their death I will relate,           |
|                                         |
| And also others lost their life         |
|                                         |
| (in the) Ashbula Bridge disaster,       |
|                                         |
| Where so many people died.              |
|                                         |
| Even if you started out reasonably      |
| healthy in one of Julia's poems, the    |
| chances are that after a few stanzas    |
| you would be at the bottom of a river   |
| or struck by lightning. A critic of the |
| day said she was "worse than a Gatling  |
| gun" and in one slim volume counted 21  |
| killed and 9 wounded.                   |
|                                         |
| Incredibly, some newspapers were        |
| critical of her work, even suggesting   |
| that the sweet singer was               |
| "semi-literate". Her reply was          |
| forthright: "The Editors that has       |
| spoken in this scandalous manner have   |
| went beyond reason." She added that     |
| "literary work is very difficult to     |
| do".                                    |
|                                         |
| -- Stephen Pile, "The Book of Heroic    |
\ Failures"                               /
