Angela Morgan

I lived from 1873-1957. I was from the United States, and am in the Americas category.

Angela Morgan was born in Washington but moved to Kansas when her father started a business and a law practice that were both unsuccessful.

When her father left for Colorado in the gold rush fever, Angela and her sisters formed a musical quartet with her brother as a manager to earn a living. The group was disbanded when one of her sisters died. To support her mother and her sisters, she wrote for the Chicago Daily American.

Although she had held several positions in the literary world, her peers did not regard her as poets of rank. She always move from one place to another because of financial difficulties and was often dependant on generous benefactors to support her living.
In 1935 Angela Morgan had to declare bankruptcy.

Her poems and writings are full of hope and voice of optimism despite her financial problems. She died at Mount Marion, New York at the home of her friends.
