A Handy Guide for Beggars
New Edition. Cloth, 12mo, $1.25
"The Handy Guide for Beggars" is an introduction to all Vachel Lindsay's work.
It gives his first adventures afoot. He walked through Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky, in the spring of 1906.
He walked through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and on to Hiram, Ohio,
in the spring of 1908. He carried on these trips his poems:
"The Tree of Laughing Bells", "The Heroes of Time", etc.
He recited them in exchange for food and lodging. He left copies
for those who appeared interested. The book is a record of these journeys,
and of many pleasing discoveries about American Democracy.
This book serves to introduce the next, "Adventures While Preaching
the Gospel of Beauty". In the spring and summer of 1912,
Mr. Lindsay walked from Springfield, Illinois, west to Colorado,
and into New Mexico. He was much more experienced in the road.
He carried "Rhymes to Be Traded for Bread", "The Village Improvement Parade",
etc. As is indicated in the title, he wrestled with a theory
of American aesthetics.
