Bessie Alexander Ficklen (November 10, 1861 – March 3, 1945) was an American poet and artist.Her essay on "Dream Poetry", appeared in one of the leading magazines of the 19th-century and attracted much attention.
She wrote more for pleasure than for any monetary gain.
She was also quite as clever with drawing-pencils as with her pen, and from time to time, for private circulation, published little books of rhyme—simple, jesting doggerel—written and illustrated by her own hand.
She was a hand puppeteer, creating them for several decades and writing a book on the subject.
