Mollee Kruger (born March 28, 1929) is an American poet, journalist, and memorialist who currently lives in Rockville, Maryland.[1] She is best known for her light verse about history and politics as well as contemporary Jewish themes underscored by Biblical references.

Kruger’s eclectic work appeared in ‘Unholy Writ’, a weekly syndicated column of light verse, which ran from 1967–1987 in the Jewish press.[2] Often compared to Ogden Nash and Dorothy Parker, she has written seven poetry collections, two of them on feminist topics. Her most recent work includes The Cobbler’s Last, a memoir of small-town life during the Great Depression, and Swift Seasons, a novel about love and aging, published in 2016 when she was eighty-seven.[3]

Kruger's papers are held by on Special Collections and University Archives at the University of Maryland, her alma mater.[4] Her husband was metallurgist Jerome Kruger, an employee of NIST and professor at Johns Hopkins.[5]
