somethingdarkerI'm guessing that Geo. D. Prentiss and George D. Prentice are the same person. Both appear in the same magazine (Graham's) on Project Gutenberg but in different issues. I 100% might be wrong, but spelling in the 1850s can be weird.
Note that George D. Prentice is one of the white racists whose statues and such are gradually being removed. He wrote a lot of extremely racist editorials. His Wikipedia page is linked below so you can take a look if you're on the fence about whether or not that's a dealbreaker. I expect that other poets of this era had similarly terrible attitudes, but I rarely see it so prominently documented. (And, really, I may only have noticed because I was trying to prove or disprove the Prentiss/Prentice link. I often don't look far into poets' Wikipedia pages unless I'm otherwise interested.)
