City of Discontent

Forsideomslag
University of Illinois Press, 1992 - 403 sider
When City of Discontent was first published, it bore the subtitle
"An interpretive biography of Vachel Lindsay, being also the story
of Springfield, Illinois, USA, and of the love of the poet for that city,
that state, and that nation." But the book is, like Carl Sandburg's
Lincoln, not so much a biography as a poetic interpretation of
the life of one of the state's leading poets of the first half of the
century.
"A lively, swift-moving, sympathetic story of a man who deserves
to be remembered. . . . A book people will enjoy, and suffer over, and
not soon forget."
