BiographyWiggins was born in Austin, Texas.[2] Wiggins' father, Jessie Austin Love, was also a poet.[3] Her father had also attended college and was the Sunday school director for the Holiness Church in Austin.[2] When she was orphaned in 1903, she was raised in El Paso, Texas by an aunt, Margaret Spiller.[2] Wiggins attended the segregated Douglass school in El Paso and when she later published her poetry, she dedicated it to one of her teachers, Alice Lydia McGowan and her former principal, William Coleman, wrote the introduction.[4] In the introduction, Coleman shares that at an early age she had "natural poetic feelings."[5] Wiggins married Allen D. Wiggins in 1915.[2] Wiggins divorced sometime in the 1920s and moved to Los Angeles.[2] She married Thomas Brackett Clay and lived in Los Angeles, though not much is known about her life in this period.[2] She died on January 27, 1936 and was buried as Bernice Love Clay in the Evergreen Cemetery in Los Angeles.[2] WorkHer volume of poetry, Tuneful Tales (1925) contains 102 poems which are written in dialect form.[6] Her poetic tone and style link her to the Harlem Renaissance.[2] Wiggins' poetry focused on her experience of the black community of her time.[3] She also wrote poetry about racial discrimination,[3] lynching and poverty.[7] She "condemned the injustice of laws against prostitution" in her poem, "The Vampire."[7] References1. ^{{Cite book|url=https://muse.jhu.edu/chapter/273867|title=Literary El Paso|last=Daudistel|first=Marcia Hatfield|publisher=TCU Press|year=2009|isbn=9780875654843|location=|pages=138|subscription=yes|via=Project MUSE}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{Cite web|url=https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fwicx|title=Wiggins, Bernice Love|last=Evans|first=Charlene Taylor|date=24 July 2013|website=Handbook of Texas Online|publisher=Texas State Historical Association|access-date=11 April 2016}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yM0G1eOZYrAC&lpg=PA149&dq=%22bernice%20love%20wiggins%22&pg=PA144#v=onepage&q=%22bernice%20love%20wiggins%22&f=false|title=Recovering Five Generations Hence: The Life and Writing of Lillian Jones Horace|last=Glasrud|first=Bruce A.|publisher=Texas A&M University Press|year=2013|isbn=9781603449762|editor-last=Kossie-Chernyshev|editor-first=Karen|location=|pages=144|chapter=Southwestern Female Authors}} 4. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LbVCCQAAQBAJ&lpg=PA36&dq=%22bernice%20love%20wiggins%22&pg=PA36#v=onepage&q=%22bernice%20love%20wiggins%22&f=false|title=Civil Rights in the Texas Borderlands: Dr. Lawrence A.
