Elizabeth McFarland Hoffman, who as poetry editor of Ladies' Home
Journal sandwiched the work of W.H. Auden, Adrienne Rich and Sylvia
Plath in between "Is Your Marriage a Masquerade?' and "Bing Crosby's
Kitchen for His Bride,' died on May 12 in Philadelphia. She was 83
and had homes in Swarthmore, Pa., and Harborside, Maine.
The cause was complications after cardiac surgery, her husband,
Daniel Hoffman, said.
While Hoffman was at Ladies' Home Journal, from 1948 to 1962, the

Major 20th-century writers whose verse appeared there included
Marianne Moore, John Ciardi, Mark Van Doren, Randall Jarrell, Maxine
Kumin, Edna St. ...
