Ohioana Literary Trail: Natalie Clifford Barney ahead of her time Sharon Short © Provided by Dayton Daily News Natalie Clifford Barney
We continue the tour of local stops on the Ohioana Literary Trail (http://www.ohioana.org/rescources/the-ohio-literary-trail/) with the marker for Natalie Clifford Barney, a Dayton native (born Oct. 31, 1876) who was 100 years ahead of her time in being an out lesbian, and writing and publishing love poems to women. She also conducted a literary salon for more than 60 years, after becoming an expatriate in Paris, which influenced numerous literary luminaries, including Truman Capote.
Her marker is located in Cooper Park (East Second Street and North St. Clair Street, in Dayton), in the park’s southwest corner, near the Dayton Metro Library main building.
