Louise Bogan (August 11, 1897 – February 4, 1970) was an American poet.[1] She was appointed the fourth Poet Laureate to the Library of Congress in 1945, and was the first woman to hold this title.[2] Throughout her life she wrote poetry, fiction, and criticism, and became the regular poetry reviewer for The New Yorker.[1]

Dictionary of Literary Biography contributor Brett C. Millier described her as "one of the finest lyric poets America has produced." He said, "the fact that she was a woman and that she defended formal, lyric poetry in an age of expansive experimentation made evaluation of her work, until quite recently, somewhat condescending."[1]
