Biographical details

Aldrich was born in New York City on April 25, 1866. Her father died when she was eight; her mother moved to the country, where she educated Aldrich. By the time she was a teenager, Aldrich was proficient in composition and rhetoric, and was able to translate French and Latin literature into English. Aldrich wrote poetry often from a young age. At age 17, she was published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Poems in other periodicals followed and eventually led to published collections of poems. Her first volume of poetry, The Rose of Flame, was published in 1889. A second volume, Songs About Love, Life, and Death, was published posthumously. Aldrich died at the age of 26 in New York on June 28, 1892.
