Kathleen Tankersley Young
Kathleen Tankersley Young (1903–1933[1]) was an African-American poet and editor associated with the Harlem Renaissance. "Almost forgotten by literary history, Kathleen Tankersley Young's name appears like a cipher through little magazines of the late 1920s and early 1930s, and in anthologies of Harlem Renaissance and American women's poetry."[2] Young died in Mexico in 1933.[1]
Young was editor at the Modern Editions Press. Together with Charles Henri Ford and Parker Tyler, she started Blues: A Magazine of New Rhythms in 1929.[3] She contributed poems to most of the nine issues of Blues. She married David Jerome Ellinger. Her literary friends included Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein.[4]
