Poetic Obituaries: In the 1960s, as Mae Winkler Goodman,

she had a column in The Cleveland Press called "The Week in ReVerse." She also published thousands of poems over the decades in The Plain Dealer, New York Times, Washington Post, Ladies' Home Journal, Saturday Evening Post and more.

"They aren't all good," she once confessed.

In her native New Orleans, a publisher put her poetry before Shakespeare's, Blake's and the Brownings' on a spoken record, "Soft Words, Warm Nights: The Most Romantic Poems Ever Spoken."
