Maureen Cannon

Maureen Cannon (November 22 1922 - January 25 2007) published more than 1,000 poems in Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, Reader's Digest, Light Quarterly, and a great variety of other publications. She was a regular contributor, always in verse, to more than one section of the New York Times.

Cannon's prolific publishing career didn't begin until her 40s, when a friend sent two of her poems to Baby Talk magazine. She won prizes for both her serious and her light verse.
