description: "Bessie Alexander Ficklen was an American poet and artist. Her essay on \"Dream Poetry\", appeared in one of the leading magazines of the 19th-century and attracted much attention. She wrote more for pleasure than for any monetary gain. She was also quite as clever with drawing-pencils as with her pen, and from time to time, for private circulation, published little books of rhyme—simple, jesting doggerel—written and illustrated by her own hand. She was a hand puppeteer, creating them for several decades and writing a book on the subject."
