Biographical Sketch

Eve Merriam was born July 19, 1916, in Philadelphia, Penn. She attended Cornell U., and the U. of Pennsylvania-Philadelphia, graduating with an A. B. in 1937. She had two sons, Guy and Dee, with her second husband, Martin Michel. She worked as a copywriter, radio writer, editor, and poet, and began writing children's books in the 1950s. Her first published works for children included biographies of famous Americans such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Emmas Lazarus. It was as a poet for children that she became best known. In 1960 she published A Gaggle of Geese, a picture book that delights in word play and sound, that young children can easily understand and enjoy. She continued to write poetry for the next three decades, imbuing many of her works with her keen observations of the good and bad aspects of contemporary life, including popular culture and the problems she considered crucial to social progress and human life, such as ecology, feminism, racial equality, and an awareness of political realities. Some critics have panned some of these 'serious' works for placing too much emphasis on social issues, and consider her lighter verse her best. Throughout her long career, Merriam used a variety of different literary forms to reach readers and get them to extend their horizons. She also translated other authors' works, and edited anthologies for children and young adults. Eve Merriam died April 11, 1992.
