Adelaide Crapsey Creator of the Cinquain verse form Biography Adelaide Crapsey was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1878, but she lived most of her life in Rochester, New York . Her father, Reverend AlgernonSidney Crapsey, was an Episcopalian clergyman. He was transferred to a chirch in Rochester, which was the reason for their move. Adelaide attended public school in Rochester, later being sent to Kemper Hall preparatory school in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She was accepted to Vassar College and graduated in1901. This same year her sister Emily died, which put her teaching career on hold for one year. From 1902-04, she returned to Kemper Hall to teach. After two years of teaching she decided to get back to her studies, but this time in Rome. She studied at the School of Classical Studies of American Academy for one year . In 1906, she went back to the U.S. to teach at Miss Lowe's School in Stamford, Connecticut. She arrived back just in time for her father's trial for heresy, which led him to be displaced from the clergy. The next year she encountered another close death, the death of her eldest brother Philip. All this stress left her in poor health. She continued to fight her illness through the next few years as she traveled back to Europe hoping that she would recover. Amidst all this distress, Adelaide Crapsey managed to create a new form of verse, known as the cinquain. It was through her interest in the Japanese haiku and tanka verse form that she got her influence from. During her time in Europe she made contacts about publishing her work, but her illness continued to worsen.

And I have seen a woman with her head flung between her naked knees, and her head held there listening to the sea, the great naked sea shouldering a load of salt. And the blue pansy mouth sang to the sea: Mother of God, I’m so little a thing, Let me sing longer, Only a little longer. And the sea shouldered its salt in long gray combers hauling new shapes on the beach sand.

ADELAIDE CRAPSEY (1878-1914) This is a photograph of Adelaide Crapsey at Saranac Lake, in the winter of 1914. I found it in the photograph album of Arthur Crapsey, her nephew. It was almost totally black, except for a baby in the bottom foreground, but was titled "Adelaide of Saranac." Arthur Crapsey allowed me to enlarge and lighten the photograph and gradually Adelaide Crapsey appeared through the darkness, wearing the winter robe patients wore when they sat on the porch of their "curing cottage." I'm pretty sure that the photographer was standing with his back to the cemetery that Adelaide could see from her sickbed. The baby must be her sister's child."
