The changing seasons often inspire memorable poetry, so we're looking at some of those who have left us lingering lines this week.

Here are some notable women poets to check your connection to:

Which of these is closest to you on our single family tree? If you're one of the 32.9 million of us who are connected to each other on our big tree, you can check with the Connection Finder. On any WikiTree profile, you can select "Connection to Me" from the pull-down menu.

MyConnections can find your relationships to any of our Featured Connections and in any category on WikiTree such as Poets, Spoken Word Artists, and Poets Laureate. Click the green button you'll see in the upper right hand corner of the category page if you are logged in.

Let us know how you're related below. If you want to share your connection on social media with cousins and friends, click the "get shareable image" button below your connection path. (Please refrain from sharing your connection on the featured profiles. It can clutter important conversations on research and collaboration. Thanks!)

P.S. Come play this week's Connection Combat game with us! See if your connection to Anne Bradstreet or Ruth Park can be verified with reliable sources.

P.P.S. Help us find and improve the profiles for next week's feature: Eurovision.
