'''Anna Peyre Dinnies''' ([[pen name]], '''Moina'''; 1816-1888) was an American poet. "Chrysanthemum" is one of her better-known poems.

==Biography==
She was engaged for four years to her future husband, John C. Dinnies, of [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]], whom she never met until one week before their marriage which occurred in 1830, when she was fourteen. They resided in St. Louis till their removal to [[New Orleans]] about 1848.

She published many poems in various magazines under the pen-name of "Moina". In 1846, she brought out a richly-illustrated volume, ''The Floral Year'', which contained a sequence of one hundred poems arranged chronologically in twelve groups. Among her best poems are “The Wife,” “Wedded Love,” “Love's Messenger,” “Carolina,” a patriotic war-lyric, and “The Greek Skave,” an imaginative interpretation of Powers's famous statue.
