History
Richard Hovey (May 4, 1864 February 24, 1900) was an American poet. Hovey was born in Normal, Illinois, the son of Major General Charles Edward Hovey and Harriet Spofford Hovey. He grew up in North Amherst, Massachusetts, and in Washington, D.C., before attending Dartmouth College. His first volume of poems was privately published in 1880.
He collaborated with Bliss Carman on three volumes of "tramp" verse: Songs from Vagabondia (1894), More Songs from Vagabondia (1896), and Last Songs from Vagabondia (1900), the last being published after Hovey's death. He died after undergoing minor abdominal surgery in 1900.
