Taggard Marries Poet and Novelist Robert L. Wolf
Poet involved
What happened
On March 21, 1921, Genevieve Taggard married Robert L. Wolf, a poet and novelist, in New York City. The couple became contributing editors for the radical journal New Masses and moved in the same Greenwich Village literary circles, though the marriage would prove troubled and end in divorce thirteen years later.
Literary impact
The marriage and its eventual dissolution became a central subject of Taggard's early poetry, particularly in her first collection, For Eager Lovers, which explores the tensions between intimacy and independence. Her experience of balancing marriage, motherhood, and writing informed her feminist convictions and her insistence that women poets not be confined to 'decorative' domestic themes.
