Anne Porter
Anne Porter was born in Sherborn, Massachusetts in 1911, which makes her 100 years old this year. She was 83 years old when her first volume of poetry, “An Altogether Different Language,” was published in 1994. The book was named a finalist in the National Book Awards. A devout Catholic, Ann is renowned as a “religious poet,” with a special talent for revealing the subtle mysteries of the presence of God in plain and approachable everyday language.
