Louise Bogan was born in Livermore Falls, Maine where her father Daniel Bogan worked for various paper mills and bottling factories. She spent most of her childhood years with her parents and brother growing up in mill towns in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts where Bogan and her family lived in working-class hotels and boardinghouses until 1904. During this time, Bogan was exposed to the volatile marriage of her parents brought on by her mother’s affairs which may have affected her own personal decisions as well as her poetic style later on in life.
