Maureen Cannon
Maureen Cannon published more than 1,000 poems in Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, Reader's Digest, Light Quarterly, and a great variety of other publications. She was a regular contributor, always in verse, to more than one section of the New York Times.
Cannon's prolific publishing career didn't begin until her 40s, when a friend sent two of her poems to Baby Talk magazine. She became a member of the Bards' Buffet, a group of light poets who occasionally dined together in New York City, and won prizes for both her serious and her light verse.
