Anne Bradstreet - Christian Biographies for Young Readers

Anne Bradstreet was the first published poet in America. She arrived in the American colonies in 1630 and lived an often difficult pioneering life. Despite the disapproval of people who thought that only men should write and study, Anne expressed her thoughts in beautiful poetry. Today’s students of Anne’s poetry appreciate her descriptions of early American colonial life and her honest accounts of her struggles and joys. For Christians, Anne’s poems are much more than this, encouraging them to recognize the beauty of God’s creation, His faithfulness, and His unfailing promises.
