A Handy Guide for Beggars, Especially Those of the Poetic Fraternity, by
Vachel Lindsay.
True story. In 1906, young poet Vachel Lindsay wanders through a dozen states, with no money and no baggage, staying with random strangers, reciting poetry and teaching "The Gospel of Beauty." So, what do you suppose that was like? Wonder why this book was popular in the 1960s & '70s?
NOTE: Some use of "The N-Word" on the part of the author, quoted faithfully by me. Sorry if you're offended.
