Maurine and Other Poems by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a clever collection of poems about a woman named Maurine receiving mail, chatting with the mailman, visiting with Aunt Ruth, and doing other everyday activities.

Tietoja kirjoittajasta
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919) was an American author and poet whose literary work is known for its optimistic and spiritual themes. Born in Johnstown, Wisconsin, Wilcox displayed a passion for writing at an early age, which culminated in a prolific career spanning several decades. She is perhaps best remembered for the poem "Solitude," which contains the well-known lines, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone." This poem reflects the general positive tone and encouragement found throughout her oeuvre, advocating for a philosophy of resilience and self-reliance. Her collection 'Maurine and Other Poems' further exemplifies her use of sentimental and motivational language to capture the emotional experiences of love, loss, and personal growth. Wilcox's work was immensely popular in her time, and she became widely recognized as a poet who could inspire and uplift the masses with her accessible verse. Her literary style is characterized by its rhyming verse and rhythmic consistency, which rendered her poems easily memorable and quotable. Despite receiving criticism for her sentimentality and perceived lack of literary depth, Wilcox's influence was felt deeply in the realm of popular poetry, and her works remain in print for those searching for inspirational literature.
