Louise Bogan (August 11, 1897 – February 4, 1970) was an American poet.
She was appointed the fourth Poet Laureate to the Library of Congress in 1945, and was the first woman to hold this title.
Throughout her life she wrote poetry, fiction, and criticism, and became the regular poetry reviewer for The New Yorker.Dictionary of Literary Biography contributor Brett C.
Millier described her as "one of the finest lyric poets America has produced." He said, "the fact that she was a woman and that she defended formal, lyric poetry in an age of expansive experimentation made evaluation of her work, until quite recently, somewhat condescending."
