  • Eugene Field - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Eugene Field - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Eugene Field(2 September 1850 - 4 November 1895) Eugene Field, Sr. was an American writer, best known for his children's poetry and humorous essays. <b>Biography</b> Field was an unusual poet. He was one of the few poets who wrote only children's poetry. That is how he got his nickname, The Children's Poet. It all started September 2, 1850, at 634 South Broadway in Saint Louis. That's where and when Eugene Field was born. He had one brother named Roswell, who was one year younger than he, and a sister who died soon after her birth. He and his brother were very close, but very different. Eugene took after their mother, Francis, while Roswell took after their father. Eugene was afraid of the dark while his brother wasn't afraid of anything. Eugene hated studying while Roswell loved it. When the boys were six and five, their mother died. Mr. Field sent them to live with their cousin, Mary French, in Massachusetts until he could take care of them. While living on their cousin's farm, Eugene wrote his first poem . He was nine then, and the poem was about their cousin's dog, Fido. At the age of fifteen, Eugene was shipped off to a small private school in Massachusetts. There were only five boys in the school, and Eugene loved leading the boys in tricks against the master of the school. Eugene went on to William's College in Massachusetts.

Daley Mayor of the City of Chicago F E B R U A R Y 2 6, 19 57 NORTH EXHIBITION HALL · NAVY PIER CHICAGO, I LLI NO IS I CITY OF CHICAGO OFFICE OF THE MAYOR RICHARD J . D ALE Y MAYOR Down through the years, the city of Chicago - heartland of the Midwest and the "nation's most exciting city"- has attracted and encouraged artists and inspired artistic talent and the result has been an important contribution to our cultural growth and development. The Art Institute, artists' organizations, clubs devoted to the stimulation of creative art, our art galleries, and our many schools and academies for the arts, have all played a significant role in this development. The No-jury Ex hibition is an impressive demonstration not only of our city's present artistic vigor, but of our community's sensitivity to new ideas. As Mayor, I share the pride of our people generally in the artistic leadership which gives recognition to the great and varied talents of the many artists who live and create in Chicago. Chicago has long been the home of creative a1·t, and as Mayor I believe strongly in lending my support to all of the cultural endeavors in our community. It is in this spirit that the city has joined with the artists and the Art Institute of Chicago in helping to arrange this exhibition for the artists of Greater Chicago. RICHARD J.
