In addition to his six published books; "Bright Harbor" (1932),[1] "Thirteen Sonnets For Georgia" (1933), "Call Back The Spring" (1935), "Wild Heron" (1940), "Never The Nightingale" (1951), and "The Poems of Daniel Whitehead Hicky" (1975), his work was regularly published in the national magazines, newspapers, and periodicals including The Saturday Evening Post, Harper's Magazine, The Atlanta Constitution, The North American Review, The New York Times, Cosmopolitan Magazine, New York Herald-Tribune, and others. He also wrote a column for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, "As I Was Saying", discussing news, events and gossip from the local country clubs such as Piedmont Driving Club and Capitol City Club. And he gave lectures and readings of his poems throughout the South and Eastern USA at various colleges, clubs, and poetry societies. One of his most popular poems was "A Letter From the Front", the popularity was partially due to Margaret Mitchell (author of "Gone With The Wind") sending it to fans when they asked if Georgia is really like what it is in the novel. It was also published in the Saturday Evening Post, July 17, 1943. During his prime he traveled the world extensively providing with material. Though many of his poems were written about the home state of Georgia, particularly Sea Island, Georgia. He was president of the Atlanta Writers Club for two years, and for many years was considered for Poet Laureate of Georgia. In 1931, he won the American Poetry Society's prize for his poem, "Machines".[1] And in 1941, he was short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Later in life, he worked as an editor at the Department of Agriculture in Washington D.C.[1] Encouraged by friends and fans he published a final farewell book, "The Poems of Daniel Whitehead Hicky" (1975), the year before he died. It includes reissues of old favorites and some poems published for the first time. His ancestors include Col. Philip Hickey (first generation Irish-American), owner of Hope Estate Plantation in Baton Rouge, La. And William Whitehead, poet laureate of England (1757). He is buried in Westview Cemetery in Atlanta near his sister, Elizabeth and husband Karl.[1] /// Standort Wimregal PKis-Box64-U009
