About This Item
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company Book. Good Plus. Hardcover. 1st Edition. (1936). First Trade Edition, 286pp. Light war, spine darkened, contents VG. It's difficult to describe this interesting and unusual book, so here is the author's introduction describing it: "Being several stories and psalms nobody would want to laugh at, interspersed with memoranda variations worth a second look, along with sayings and yarns traveling on grief and laughter, running sometimes as a fugitive air in the classic manner, breaking into jig time and tap dancing nohow classical, and further broken by plain and irregular sounds and echoes from, the roar and whirl of street crowds, work gangs, sidewalk clamor, with interludes of midnight cool blue and inviolable stars, over the phantom frames of skyscrapers." .
Synopsis
A long poem that makes brilliant use of the legends and myths, the tall tales and sayings of America. "If America has a folksinger today he is Carl Sandburg, a singer who comes out of the prairie soil... who can hand back to the people a creation that has scraps of their own insight, humor, and imagination" (Padraic Colum).
