The Art of the Moving Picture

Meer over het boek

The life of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay is marked by his unique approach to poetry, which he envisioned as a form meant to be sung or chanted. In 1905, he embraced this art form while living in New York, even selling his poems on the streets. He self-published a pamphlet titled Rhymes To Be Traded For Bread, bartering his verses for sustenance. His journey from Jacksonville, Florida, to Kentucky in 1906, covering 600 miles on foot, further exemplifies his commitment to poetry as a means of survival and artistic expression.
