Rose Terry Cooke (February 17, 1827 – July 18, 1892) was an American author and poet. Some of her earliest contributions were published in Putnam’s Magazine; and the Atlantic Monthly, in which she wrote the leading story in the first number; then in the Galaxy, published in Philadelphia; and in Harper’s. A very popular story by Cooke was “The Deacon’s Week”. Her short stories of New England life would fill several volumes. Cooke’s dream was that of developing her powers of poetry. Her first verses were printed in the New York Tribune, using her mother’s initials for a pseudonym.
