Lazarus grew up in a prosperous Jewish family in New York and began writing poems as a teenager. In 1886 her first collection, Poems and Translations , was published by her father. She attracted the attention and support of Ralph Waldo Emerson , and soon found herself a member of the elite literary circles of New York City. In the 1880s Lazarus was moved by the news of the Russian and Eastern European persecution of Jews to become more active as an advocate for Jewish immigrants. She published many well-received poems and essays, including "The New Colossus," now one of the most often quoted poems in U.S. history, especially the lines "Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to be free, / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." Upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to Europe, Lazarus, who was suffering from Hodgkin's disease, died at the age of 38. Her poem was placed on the Statue of Liberty in 1903. Her other works include

Emma Lazarus By Diane Lichtenstein "Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," proclaims the "Mother of Exiles" in Emma Lazarus's sonnet "The New Colossus." Her best-known contribution to mainstream American literature and culture, the poem has contributed to the belief that America means opportunity and freedom for Jews, as well as for other "huddled masses." Through this celebration of the "other," Lazarus conveyed her deepest loyalty to the best of both America and Judaism. Born on July 22, 1849, Lazarus was the fourth of Esther (Nathan) and Moses Lazarus's seven children. She grew up in New York and Newport, Rhode Island, and was educated by private tutors with whom she studied mythology, music, American poetry, European literature, German, French, and Italian. Her father, who was a successful sugar merchant, supported her writing financially as well as emotionally. In 1866, when Emma was only seventeen, Moses had Poems and Translations: Written Between the Ages of Fourteen and Sixteen printed "for private circulation." Daughter Emma dedicated the volume "To My Father."

EMMA LAZARUS The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine The Century Co. New York Vol. 36 (14 New Series), Number 6, October 1888 EMMA LAZARUS EMMA LAZARUS BORN JULY 22, 1849 DIED NOVEMBER 19, 1887 NE hesitates to lift the veil and throw the light upon a life so hidden and a personality so withdrawn as that of Emma Lazarus; but while her memory is fresh, and the echo of her songs still lingers in these pages, we feel it a duty to call up her presence once more and to note the traits that made it remarkable and worthy to shine out clearly before the world. Of dramatic episode or climax in her life there is none; outwardly all was placid and serene, like an untroubled stream whose depths alone hold the strong, quick tide. One cannot fail to be rather painfully impressed by the profound melancholy pervading the book. The opening poem is " In Memoriam " - on the death of a school friend and companion; and the two following poems also have death for theme." On a Lock of my Mother's Hair " gives us reflections on growing old. These are the four poems written at the age of fourteen. There is not a wholly glad and joyous strain in the volume, and we might smile at the recurrence of broken vows, broken hearts, and broken lives in the experience of this maiden just entered upon her teens, were it not that the innocent child herself is in such deadly earnest. The two long narrative poems, " Bertha " and " Elfrida," are also tragic in the extreme. Both are dashed off apparently at white heat - "Elfrida", over 1500 lines of blank verse, in two weeks; "Bertha", in three and a half.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE POETRY The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame, "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" OK, so technically this poem was not written for the Brooklyn Bridge. It was written for the Statue of Liberty in 1883 by Emma Lazarus to help fundraising for the Pedestal. The connection with the bridge occurs in the line "The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame ..." The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883, just as fund raising for the Pedestal was being heavily promoted by the New York World and Joseph Pulitzer . Emma wrote the poem just as the bridge was opening, it was the other wonder in New York harbor at the time. "Bridging the harbor", whether by Brooklyn's bridge or Liberty's command of the air, was a prominent concept in New York of 1883. The twin cities refer to New York and Brooklyn which were separate cities at the time, not consolidated until 1898.

She remains unknown and unappreciated. Her vigorous, dramatic poetry is international in scope, deeply conscious of alienation, prejudice, and exile (in both the United States and abroad). Lazarus draws on her predecessors to craft her voice: she reworks the politics of diaspora and lays claim to the role of prophet. Further, she works towards the triumphant invigoration of Judaic identity in language that is lush, incisive, and tactically shrewd. She remains the sharpest Jewish critic (and satirist) of Christian anti-Semitism. Poems from the full span of her career.
