Lorine Faith Niedecker (English: Needecker) (May 12, 1903 – December 31, 1970) was a Wisconsin poet and the only woman identified with the Objectivist poets.
She is best known for demonstrating how an Objectivist poet poetic could approach the personal as a subject matter.
Early life
Niedecker was born on Black Hawk Island, Wisconsin, to Theresa (Daisy) and Henry Niedecker, and spent the majority of her life in rural poverty. She grew up surrounded by the river's sights and sounds until she moved to Fort Atkinson to attend classes. She will be inspired by birds, trees, water, and marsh. After graduating from high school in 1922, she went to Beloit College to study literature but she left after two years because her father was no longer able to pay her tuition. She committed herself to caring for her elderly deaf mother, who had been left devastated by her husband's flagrant affair with a neighbor. In 1928, Niedecker and Frank Hartwig married; the marriage lasted two years. Hartwig's fledgling road-construction company was discovered during the Great Depression, though Niedecker lost her employment at the Fort Atkinson Library. Both men married in 1930, but they were not legally divorced until 1942.
Early writings
Niedecker's earliest poetry was influenced by her reading of the Imagists and Surrealists. In 1931, she read Poetry's Objectivist issue. Louis Zukofsky, who had edited the magazine, received her poems. This was the start of what was to be a fruitful relationship for her as a poet. Zukofsky suggested sending them to Poetry, where they were accepted for publication. Niedecker was then in direct contact with the American poetic avant-garde. For the first time since 1933, Niedecker visited Zukofsky in New York City for the first time and became pregnant with their first child. Following Niedecker's return to Fort Atkinson, he insisted that she had an abortion, which she did, but they remained close friends and maintained a mutually beneficial relationship.
Niedecker moved away from surrection and into poetry that addressed more closely with socioeconomic and political realities than well as her immediate rural environment. Many of these poems were included in New Goose, her first book (1946).
