John Hay (1838–1905) was an American statesman, diplomat, and author who served as the United States Secretary of State under Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Hay began his political career as a private secretary to President Abraham Lincoln and was present at the bedside of the president following his assassination. Beyond his political influence, Hay made his mark as a writer and poet. His volume entitled 'Poems,' published in 1890, revealed Hay's literary abilities and showcased his adeptness in verse, encapsulating the attention to detail and sensitivity also reflected in his statesmanship. Hay's poetic works were characterized by their evocative language and often revealed the refinement of his diplomatic experiences, traversing themes of politics, society, and human nature. His literary style, steeped in the late nineteenth-century tradition, displayed an inclination for clear imagery and a contemplative tone that engaged the matters of the heart as much as those of the intellect. As an author, Hay contributes to the literary landscape as a figure who blended his political acumen with poetic expression, providing a unique window into the ethos of his era. While his body of literary work may not be as extensive as his political career, John Hay's 'Poems' remains an intriguing testament to the multifaceted nature of his life and work.
