Early life and education
Fanny (sometimes spelled Fannie) Huntington Runnells was born at Orford, New Hampshire,Шаблон:Sfn in 1863. Her parents were Rev. Moses Thurston Runnells, a historian and 23 years pastor of the Congregational Church at Sanbornton,Шаблон:Sfn and Fannie Maria Baker Runnells.Шаблон:Sfn She was directly descended from the early Huntingtons of Connecticut, including Governor Samuel Huntington, Jedediah Huntington in poetry, and Daniel Huntington in art.Шаблон:Sfn
Isolated, to a large degree, from the comradeship of other children, her purest delights were "to wander in the fields, browse at will in her father's library, or pore over her mother's music books at the piano." In her long out-of-door rambles among the birds and flowers, she found it easy to lisp her love of things beautiful in rhyme. By some happy chance, a copy of Palgrave's Golden Treasury was discovered when she was quite young, and she enjoyed it with the peculiar zest of a young and true child of genius. At ten years of age, she had affection for Romeo and Juliet, Rasselas, The Eve of St. Agnes, Wordsworth, Bryant and Tennyson. At thirteen, her verses, heretofore a guarded secret, began to appear in The Granite Monthly, Cottage Hearth, Journal of Education, The Advance, and the Boston Journal. Soon after, she became a student at the Tilton New Hampshire Seminary,Шаблон:Sfn 1880-2, where her education, superior to most of her age, was greatly improved by two years of careful work.Шаблон:Sfn She then studied music in Boston and New York City, 1883-90.Шаблон:Sfn
Career
After several years of music study in Boston, and piano study under her mother's guidance, she taught in Boston, New York, Frankfort, Kentucky, and at the Parkesburg, Pennsylvania Classical Institute. Her repertoire was extensive; Beethoven and Chopin were her especial delight. Indeed, had it not been for her absorbing love for literature she would have chosen the profession of pianist. But the poetry and charm of a quiet life appealed more directly to Poole. Poole was a book reviewer for Town and Country, and the author of Books of Verse.Шаблон:Sfn
In June 1895, she published the successful book of verses entitled A Bank of Violets, which secured the favorable consideration of forty reviewers in the United States and England. She received appreciative letters from several of the literati, among them Pierre Loti, Israel Zangwill, and John Gilmer Speed, a grandnephew of John Keats, one of her favorite poets.Шаблон:Sfn
