Ella Moon

Ella Wheeler Wilcox was one of the Victorian world’s most popular poets. Born on an impoverished Wisconsin farm, she hungered for fame and fortune. As a young farm girl, she caught the attention of East Coast editors.

Her life became a tapestry of color and melo-drama, an epic of American rags to riches. She scandalized her generation with verse that seemed too risqué for a puritanical nation, but her own married life was the model of Christian propriety.

This fictionalized account chronicles her controversial life, not only the glittering heights of international celebrity, but also the nagging fears that tempered her vast and cherished success.

Ed Ifkovic is the author of a previous novel, as well as numerous short stories. He lives in West Hartford, Connecticut.
