Kathleen Tankersley Young
About
Kathleen Tankersley Young (August 15, 1902–April 9, 1933) was an American writer, poet, and editor active in publishing during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Although her work has received relatively little attention from scholars and publishers since her death, she published her poetry widely in the poetry magazines of her day and corresponded with a wide circle of literary friends, acquaintances, and collaborators. The literary scholar Eric White has written of Young: "Almost forgotten by literary history, Kathleen Tankersley Young's name appears like a cipher through little magazines of the late 1920s and early 1930s, and in anthologies of Harlem Renaissance and American women's poetry." In 2022 a volume consisting of the bulk of her works was published, entitled The Collected Works of Kathleen Tankersley Young.
