Answer:
American poet and songwriter
Explanation:
George Pope Morris was a 19th century American poet and songwriter who also edited newspapers and wrote columns as a literary critic. He was born on the 10th October 1802 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nothing significant is recorded about his early life so it is necessary to jump straight to his late 20s when, with fellow writer and editor Nathaniel Parker Willis, he was responsible for the founding of the New York Evening Mirror newspaper. The pair of them merged two other publications to create something that not only reported the news but also provided literary critiques and covered all kinds of contemporary entertainment. This was the paper that obtained an exclusive advance copy of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem The Raven, publishing it on the 29th January 1845.
Although a talented writer himself, Morris decided to concentrate on producing a periodical that could be enjoyed by all the family and, with Willis, he founded a magazine which soon became known as the Home Journal. From 1901 it was renamed Town and Country, a title that can still be found on sale today.
He had still found the time though for his own compositions and, in 1838, he published a collection of poetry called: The deserted Bride and Other poems
