Biographical History
American poet and water-colorist.
Celia Laighton Thaxter was an American poet and essayist who lived much of her life in the Isles of Shoals, at first on White Island and later in a large cottage her brothers built for their parents on the island of Appledore, in which she eventually died. The family ran a hotel, Appledore House, which, along with Celia's cottage, burned in 1914. The cottage was home to Celia's literary salon in summer months and where she established her renowned garden. For some years Celia lived apart from her husband, Levi Lincoln Thaxter, but cared for her oldest son, Karl, who had disabilities.
American poet.
Celia Laighton Thaxter was a popular American writer, primarily remembered for her poetry. She spent her formative years in relative isolation on the windswept islands of New England, and her awareness of nature and solitude are reflected in her writing. A natural poet, her verse employed the rather common rhymes popular in her day, but eschewed sentimentality and reflected strong realistic themes. She was much liked by the New England literary community, and often published work for children.
Poet. Full name: Celia Laighton Thaxter.
