Rhymes To Be Traded For Bread (1912) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161687613)

Rhymes To Be Traded For Bread is a collection of poems written by American poet Vachel Lindsay, first published in 1912. The book contains over 100 poems, ranging in length from just a few lines to several pages. The poems cover a variety of topics, including nature, love, social justice, and spirituality. Lindsay's writing style is characterized by his use of free verse, which he believed was more expressive than traditional poetry forms. The title of the book reflects Lindsay's belief that poetry should be accessible to everyone, and he often traded his poems for food or other necessities when he was struggling financially. Rhymes To Be Traded For Bread is considered one of Lindsay's most important works and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
