Adelaide Crapsey (1878-1914), was an American poet. Born in Brooklyn, New York, September 9, 1878, she was raised in Rochester, New York, daughter of Episcopal minister Algernon Sidney Crapsey, who had been transferred from New York City to Rochester, and Adelaide T. Crapsey.

She attended public school in Rochester, and then Kemper Hall, an Episcopal girls' preparatory school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, before entering Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, graduating in 1901.

That same year her sister Emily died, and Adelaide delayed starting her teaching career for a year. In 1902 she took a position at Kemper Hall, where she taught until 1904. She then spent a year at the School of Classical Studies at the American Academy in Rome.

@RayOnativia That's a fun poetic form essentially created by unfortunately named Adelaide Crapsey. Tricksy because it must be so concise.
