The following is a poem by Patience Worth.

Am I a broken liar?

Who at the master's touch respondeth with a tinkle and a whir?

Or am I strung in full and at his touch give forth the full cord?

These are familiar questions for anyone.

Am I broken?

Can I project something into the world that's full and beautiful?

But they were especially important for the author Patience.

In the early 1900s, Patience was working extra hard to get her work out there into the world,

which wasn't all that easy considering she was dead.

This week, we're looking at Patience Worth.

In the early 20th century, she hit America's literary scene as a celebrated poet, novelist, and as charming conversationalist.

In 1917, not one, but five of her poems appeared in the prestigious Breakway Anthology.

But no one had actually seen her because Patience was a ghost.

We'll have all that and more coming up.

Stay with us.

I've entered the Rick and Morty multiverse so many times at all for that I don't know whether I'm Rick, Morty, or Morty.

Oh, myself.
