Chicago in Autumn and other poems by Flora Bishop Hendricks (1987)


 Chicago in Autumn and other poems

 Flora Bishop Hendricks 

The Estate of Flora Bishop Hendricks

(c) 1987

This 45 page collection of poetry is as much a remembrance of the author as a volume of work. As one can see, it was published by the Estate of - Ms. Hendricks and at the end of the book is a mention of where the poems in this small book came from: a 1928 book entitled Bowls of Phantasy published by Robert Packard in Chicago and an unpublished collection of work written in the 1930s. 

Ms. Hendricks died in Putney, Vermont but had Chicago roots. Her poetry is emblematic of her time (not my shot of Bourbon) but it is beautiful in its own way.
