Title	In A Sunshine Land
Subject	Literary Ohio Ohio Women Poetry
Place	Geneva (Ohio) Ashtabula County (Ohio)
Description	Geneva, Ohio poet Edith M. Thomas published In A Sunshine Land, a collection of poetry, in 1894. The book is 152 pages in length and measures 5" x 7.5" (12.7 x 19.05 cm). Selections, including the introduction and table of contents, are digitized here. Poet Edith Matilda Thomas (1854-1925) was born in Medina County. Her family moved to Bowling Green in 1859. After the death of her father in 1861, Thomas and her mother and sisters moved to Geneva, Ohio. Her first poems were published in the Geneva Times. Thomas attended Geneva schools and was a member of the first graduating class of Geneva High School in 1872. She later lived in New York and published dozens of poems in newspapers and periodicals, including The Critic, Atlantic Monthly, The Weekly Magazine, The Acorn, and The Cottage Hearth. Some of her subjects were nature, mythological studies, fable and legend, and Lake Erie. Besides her many poems, Thomas authored sixteen books. Her work was highly praised in England and America. In a Cleveland Plain Dealer article titled "One of America's Most Gifted Women" journalist Archie Bell wrote, "Her pen has not been a prolific one, but in range of literary thought and expression she has eclipsed anything done by a woman since the work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning."
