Poetry, a volume that first brought recognition to author Celia Thaxter: 58 "Dwift-Wood" Poems (11 titled: Song); 15 Poems for Children. A compact attractive volume by one of New England's best-remembered late 19th century writers. She began her life living with her father on the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. He was a lighthouse keeper, then an inn owner, the first for a growing summer tourism clientele to the Shoals. Nature and the sea were themes that influenced her prose and poetry, many samples of each found print in early magazines. Celia Laighton Thaxter, b.1835-d.1894, moved at 16 to the mainland upon marrying Levi Thaxter. They had homes in Watertown (his father's), Newburyport (rented) and in Newtonville, Massachusetts. She had moved back to her island, Appledore Island, being hostess at her father's hotel, which became a writers and artists' warm weather gathering place.
