Mollee Kruger
Mollee Kruger (born 1929) is an American poet, journalist, and memorialist who currently lives in Rockville, Maryland. She is best known for her light verse about history and politics as well as contemporary Jewish themes underscored by Biblical references. Kruger’s eclectic work appeared in ‘Unholy Writ’, a weekly syndicated column of light verse, which ran from 1967–1987 in the Jewish press. Often compared to Ogden Nash and Dorothy Parker, she has written seven poetry collections, two of them on feminist topics. Her most recent work includes "The Cobbler’s Last," a memoir of small-town life during  the Great Depression, and "Swift Seasons", a novel about love and aging, published in 2016 when she was eighty-seven. Kruger's papers are held by on Special Collections and University Archives at the University of Maryland, her alma mater. Her husband was metallurgist Jerome Kruger, an employee of NIST and professor at Johns Hopkins.
