( About the Book Poetry is a literary form that uses aest...)
About the Book Poetry is a literary form that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language (e.g. phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre) to enhance the prosaic ostensible meaning, or generate an alternative meaning. Poetry uses numerous devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poetry's long history dates back to prehistorical times ehen hunting poetry was created in Africa. Also in this Book Poetry as an art form predates written text, with the earliest poetry having been recited or sung, and employed as a way of remembering oral history. The oldest examples of epic poetry include the Epic of Gilgamesh from Bablylon and the Greek epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, and the Indian Sanskrit epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The longest epic poems in history were the Mahabharata and the Tibetan Epic of King Gesar. Aristotle's Poetics considered that there were three genres of poetry—the epic, the comic, and the tragic. Later aestheticians identified: epic poetry, lyric poetry, and dramatic poetry. One of the most popular form since the Late Middle Ages, is the sonnet, which by the 13th century had become standardized as fourteen lines following a set rhyme scheme. The form had crystallized further by the 14th century and the Italian Renaissance, under the guidance of Petrarch.

Edith was born in Chatham Center, Ohio, in 1854. She was the daughter of Frederick J. and Jane Louisa (Sturges) Thomas. Her father's family, originally Welsh, had moved to Ohio from New York; her mother was a native of Connecticut. Her father, a school-teacher and farmer, moved from Chatham to Kenton soon after 1854, and thence to Bowling Green, Ohio, where he died in 1861. Soon after her father's death Edith was taken by her mother to Geneva, Ohio.
In 1872 she was graduated from a school. She then spent a short, dissatisfied period at Oberlin College.
She also became a disciple of Keats, perceiving in his poetry that sensuous yet spiritual love of beauty which she herself felt.
She taught school for several months. Unhappy in this work, she learned, and for a short while practised, the trade of typesetting. At the normal school she had succeeded in having a class in Greek organized, and her eager study of the language and its literature stimulated her in a way that was profoundly to influence her poetry, which as a student she had begun submitting to Geneva and Cleveland newspapers.
Her desire to give herself to poetry had been whetted by an uncle, James Thomas, a romantic adventurer, who had made her gifts of books and who in 1881 took her to New York. There he presented her to Anne Charlotte Lynch Botta, who in turn sent her to Helen Hunt Jackson. The latter read her poetry, thought it excellent, and secured publication of some of it in the Century.
After her mother's death (1887), Edith Thomas moved to New York. Her first book, A New Year's Masque and Other Poems, had been published in 1885, and her verse had begun to appear in the pages of Scribner's, the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, the Nation, the Critic, the Independent, the Outlook, and several metropolitan newspapers.
Sponsored by Richard Watson Gilder and others, she won the friendship of some of the most prominent writers of the day. For a decade after her removal to New York she made her home with Dr. and Mrs. Samuel Elliott, at whose house she met such men as Charles Anderson Dana, Parke Godwin, and Edwin Booth. For a while she helped prepare the Century Dictionary. In 1908 she became a reader for Harper's Magazine, under Henry Mills Alden, and continued in this work until her death. She wrote several books of a pedestrian sort, among them a series of books for children, called the Children of the Seasons Series (1888). She also wrote one book of prose nature-sketches, The Round Year (1886). Representative volumes of her verse are Lyrics and Sonnets (1887), The Inverted Torch (1890), In Sunshine Land (1895), The Dancers, and Other Legends and Lyrics (1903), and The Flower from the Ashes (1915).

Quotations:
"The god of music dwelleth out of doors. "
"Treasure the shadow. . .. There are no shadows save from substance cast. "
"I follow my law and fulfil it all duly and look! when your doubt runneth high North points to the needle!"
She was a frail little woman who preferred a nunlike seclusion. She made many friends, but only those who came to recognize the quiet, reserved manner as one which concealed a consuming passion for poetry really appreciated her personality, her work, or her refined intelligence. Her muse was remote, unimpassioned, classical; she was "more Greek than American".
Quotes from others about the person
Canadian poet Sir Charles G. D. Roberts wrote that "Miss Thomas’s work, in some of its best characteristics, recalls to me Shakespeare’s sonnets. "
