Vachel Lindsay (November 10, 1879 — December 5, 1931)
A very well-known poet in his day, Lindsay gave a reading for President Woodrow Wilson and his Cabinet. His poetry is musical – full of rhythm and singing sounds, a quality he shared with William Butler Yeats, an admirer of his work. Born in Springfield, Ill., Lindsay attended the Art Institute of Chicago. Known as the “Prairie Troubadour,” he illustrated and performed much of his work. Wiki ... |
