1926. American author, novelist, poet, Widdemer shared the 1919 Pulitzer Prize for poetry (the second ever awarded) with Carl Sandburg. The book begins: One low light burned in the chintz and wicker living-room. By it could be seen, dimly and pleasantly, Nonny's Kewpie doll sitting with her feet stuck straight out in one corner. Throned on the mantelpiece was another doll, a long-legged, long-armed Pierrot that belonged to Sibyl, Nonny's mother, a sick simper on its white face and its legs tied in a bow-knot by some flippant hand. They evidently belonged where they were, for everything else in the room was severely neat in its bright colored, impudent way. It was a gay and arresting living-room, and its only subdued note was the comedy, plump middle-aged woman asleep on the chaise lounge in her brown crepe de chine.

1918. American author, novelist, poet, Widdemer shared the 1919 Pulitzer Prize for poetry (the second ever awarded) with Carl Sandburg. The book begins: You might have thought, if you didn't know, that there was an afternoon tea-party going on, but it wasn't: it was merely all the Goldsborough girls in one room. There were five of them, ranging all the way from Angela, who was twenty-three and looked so much like a doll that by the law of contraries you could be almost sure she had a great deal of common sense, to Isabella, who was fifteen and had large eyes and brown curls and dimples and had to be kept down. In between came Deborah, who was tall and lissom and cream-and-gold, Janetta, who was straight and dark and Indian-handsome, and Annice, small and dark and quiet and so much like a Sir Walter Scott engraving, at sixteen, that her sisters made her life a burden about it.
