General William Booth enters into heaven and other poems Vachel Lindsay Books
Vachel Lindsay's poetry has always evoked a memory of the first two decades of the twentieth century before WWI wrecked civilisation as it was then known. Imagine a poet who wrote poetry with the intention of it being set to music rather than just being read. Lindsay was a truly unique individual with an amazing talent that is under-appreciated. There is no finer poetry set to music than "Gen. William Booth Enters into Heaven, in the Charles Ives composition performed by the Gregg Smith Singers. My grandmother (b. 1900 once saw Lindsay perform, and I think it was the highlight of her life. She still recalled his performance clearly the summer before she died at age 92. The Gregg Smith LP of Ives' choral music which included "Booth" was the only LP she owned that wasn't by the Carter Family or Flatt & Scruggs. That's a high recommendation for Lindsay.Product details

General William Booth enters into heaven and other poems Vachel Lindsay Books Reviews
I thoroughly enjoy Vachel Lindsay's poetry. The meter is reminisant of Edgar Allen Poe's verse. The subject matter is that of turn of the century (18th -19th) century. The mores and folkways of the United States were not the same as they are now. Lindsay gives you a cutting edge view of a mid-West American of that period.
There is no interactive Table of Contents. That means that you must trudge through the book from front to back or you must hunt-and-peck for pearls.
I frequently buy a book for a dollar on because it includes something like an interactive Table of Contents which the free version from other sources does not. This version on does not have anything that other independently produced versions have. Therefore I do not recommend paying money for it here. Currently this collection of poems is free on . By all means, get it here. If starts to charge for it, look a little further.
General William Booth Enters Into Heaven is the poem that made me want to write poetry. It may be the first Rap Poem. The driving beat that carries it forward is made deeper by the driving faith that Vachel Lindsay expresses in it.
