Grace Conkling

Grace Walcott Hazard Conkling (February 7, 1878 – November 15, 1958) was an American author, a poet and an English professor.

She earned a bachelor of letters degree at Smith College and then taught at the Graham School in New York.

Hazard moved to France to study music, but she became ill and returned to the United States.

She was a trustee of the Cummington School of the Arts, run by her colleague Katherine Frazier in western Massachusetts.

Grace copied down her daughter's poems as they were spoken, which is the only record that exists of Hilda's work.
