Arthur Davison Ficke (November 10, 1883 – November 30, 1945) was an American poet, playwright, and expert of Japanese art.Ficke had a national reputation as "a poet's poet", and "one of America's most expert sonneteers".
Under the alias Anne Knish, Ficke co-authored Spectra (1916).Intended as a spoof of the experimental verse which was fashionable at the time, the collection of strange poems unexpectedly caused a sensation among modernist critics which eclipsed Ficke's recognition as a traditional prose stylist.
Ficke is also known for his relationship with poet Edna St.Vincent Millay.After several years of illness, Ficke committed suicide in 1945.
