Description
Photo of Madeline Mason, 20th-century American poet and creator of the Mason sonnet, for a biographical article, "The Inner Voice", for a local newspaper, Catskill, NY. Mason is photographed sitting indoors in front of a decorative wall with patterned wallpaper that looks like wrought iron and wood accents. She stares into the distance away from the camera, smiling softly. Her hair is short, dark, and curled. She wears a patterned blazer, a patterned scarf tied around her neck, two necklaces of different lengths, bracelets on her right wrist, and a ring on each of her right pointer and right index fingers. She holds unidentified papers, and decorative bowls sit on a table in front of her in the foreground of the photo.
