KLINKNER, Anthony Ferdinand Timothy. (Cascade, IA, July 10, 1880--Dubuque, IA, May 13, 1953). The Poet Laureate League of America named Klinkner its first poet laureate for Iowa in 1933. The same year Principal Poets of the World, a British publication, carried a biography of the Iowa poet.
Klinkner served as editor of Young America from 1897 to 1903. A member of the United and National Amateur Press Associations during the same period, he worked as a reporter for the TELEGRAPH HERALD in 1903 and then for the CATHOLIC PRINTING COMPANY beginning in 1919.
