About
Jump to
Harriet McEwen Kimball (November 2, 1834 – September 3, 1917) was an American poet, hymnwriter, philanthropist, and hospital co-founder. “The Poetess of the Church” as she was long called, Kimball's life was largely devoted to literature and to church work. She was one of that group of 19th—century poets of which Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was most prominent and which ministered so greatly to the American love of poetry and appreciation of it that the members of the group were in some sense literary pioneers. Kimball was the last of the group to survive. She died in 1917.
