Aline Murray Kilmer (August 1, 1888 – October 1, 1941), was an American poet, children's book author, and essayist, and the wife and widow of poet and journalist Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918).
The couple attended Rutgers College Preparatory School and married shortly after his graduation from Columbia University in 1908. In their short marriage, lasting 10 years, her husband had achieved fame as a poet, literary critic and among Catholic circles as America's most prominent Catholic writer.
After his death in World War I, she began publishing her own poetry and a few children's books.
Today, her work is largely forgotten.
