Lesser-known poets

In honor of poetry month, I'd like to mention two poets that I like: Sally Gaines Hardaway and Archibald Rutledge. I've only read a few of Archibald Rutledge's poems, but I'm hoping to read more in the near future!

Sally Gaines Hardaway was a Virginian who lived from the 1830's to the 1870's. She was a Christian. Some of her poems are what today would be considered sappy, I reckon, but I still appreciate them.

Modest is hottest

I saw t-shirts with "modest is hottest" on them in a clothing store in South Carolina. (Modest is hottest seems to be a popular slogan in some circles right now.) Only problem was that the words were written in big letters on the front and that would highlight a certain area, looking not too modest!
