Description
Excerpt: Hilda Conkling A shy, bur normal little girl, twleve years old now, nine when her first volume of verses appeared, Hilda Conkling is not so much the infant prodigy as a clear proof that the child mind, before the precious spark is destroyed, possesses both vision and the ability to express it in natural and beautiful rhythm. Grace Hazard Conkling, herself a poet, is Hilda?s mother. They live in Northampton, Massachusetts, in the academic atmosphere of Smith College where those who know the little girl say that she enjoys sliding down a cellar stairway quite as much as she does talking of elves and gnomes. She was born in New York State, so that she is distinctly of the East. The rhythm which she uses to express her ideas is the result both of her own moods, which are often crystal?clear in their delicate imagery, and of the fact that from the time when she was first able to listen, her mother read aloud to her. In fact, her first poems were made before she herself could write them down. The speculation as to what she will do when she grows to womanhood is a common one. Is it important? A childhood filled with beauty is something to have achieved.
