Nancy Cunard

The beautiful heiress to the Cunard shipping fortune Nancy Cunard was a poet, a publisher and a paramour of many writers of the 1920’s to 1930’s. Unhappy with a life of privilege Cunard rebelled early and took up with writers such as Ezra Pound, TS Eliot, Earnest Hemingway and Wydym Lewis. Dazzled and inspired by these men who became lovers, Cunard eventually published her own books of poetry.

It was the black jazz pianist Henry Crowder who changed her life. Their relationship opened her up to the racial injustices blacks were experiencing and she dedicated her life to civil rights. Although it would cost her both her family and her fortune, she edited and published Negro in 1934 with contributors including Zors Neale Hurston, W.E.B Du Bois and Langston Huges.
