Lloyd Mifflin

1846–1921


Lloyd Mifflin (1846–1921) was an American poet and painter, born at Columbia, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna, where he lived most of his life. He is remembered chiefly for his sonnets, which draw on the classical world and the landscape of his own river valley.

Several of his short poems were included by Knowles in his anthology of American lyrics, and Jessie Rittenhouse later placed him among the older poets of the period.
