Biography
Aldrich was born in New York City on April 25, 1866. Her father died when she was eight; her mother moved to the country, where she educated Aldrich. By the time she was a teenager, Aldrich was proficient in composition and rhetoric, and was able to translate French and Latin literature into English, and to name many local plants and insects. [1]
Aldrich wrote poetry often from a young age. At age 17, she was published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Poems in other periodicals followed and eventually led to published collections of poems. [2]
Her first volume of poetry, The Rose of Flame, was published in 1889. A second volume, Songs About Love, Life, and Death, was published posthumously.
Aldrich died at the age of 26 in New York on June 28, 1892.
