About this person

Dora Greenwell was an English poet. Initially little was known about the writer, though English literary circles assumed she was a Quaker writing under a pseudonym. It took many years for these misconceptions to be dispelled. Many of Greenwell's poems had religious themes inspired by her Anglican faith. Greenwell's poem, "I Am Not Skilled to Understand" was set to music by William J. Kirkpatrick. A contemporary version of it, "My Savior My God", is a 2006 radio single by contemporary Christian musician, Aaron Shust on his album Anything Worth Saying. Greenwell also wrote essays about women's suffrage and abolitionism.
