Among the Trees Again by Evaleen Stein

Evaleen Stein was born on October 12, 1863, in Lafayette, Indiana, where she remained for her entire life. In 1886, Evaleen wrote her first poem and sent it to the Indianapolis Journal for publication. They loved it, and she contributed to the journal (and other newspapers) for several years. This was only the beginning of Evaleen's writing career, and she published eleven volumes of stories and three books of verse. Aside from her writing career, Evaleen was also an accomplished artist who did decorative work for Chicago and New York societies as an illuminator. Like her poetry, her artwork was sentimental but true to technique and featured a floral or natural theme. Evaleen Stein passed on December 11, 1923, in her "little house of Dreams" and was interred in Lafayette's Greenbush Cemetery. She was 60 years old. We are reading poems from her second book of poetry, Among the Trees Again, which she published in 1902.
