Book Logging: Project Gutenberg Poetry
Aug. 12th, 2021 12:04 amAs usual, there's some I liked, some I didn't, and some I just didn't understand.
One author below, Benjamin De Casseres is noteworthy for having critical praise as writing 'proto-Dadaist rhetoric' and as 'The American Nietzsche.' It's been 2-3 months since I read that Wikipedia article, and I still can't fit those two idea together at all.
( Ballad Book )
( Brown, Paul Cameron. The Long Necked Bottle )
( Brown, Paul Cameron. Prussian Blue )
( Browning, Robert. Browning's Shorter Poems )
( De Casseres, Benjamin. The Shadow-Eater )
Drury, Anna Harriet. The First of May - Project Gutenberg. 6th edition. 1851. 17 pages about Queen Victoria and the Great Exhibition. Primarily of historical interest.
( Eden, Helen Parry. Bread and Circuses )
( Glasgow, Ellen. The Freeman and Other Poems )
( Hartigan, Patrick Joseph (writing as John O'Brien). Around the Boree Log )
Holland, Norah M. Spun-Yarn and Spindrift - Project Gutenberg. DNF. I'm not quite sure what didn't work for me about these. I didn't find a lot about the poet online. https://pennyspoetry.fandom.com/wiki/Norah_M._Holland
( A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems translated by Arthur Waley )
( Huxley, Aldous. Selected Poems )
( Lowell, James Russell. The Cathedral )
Mackay, Isabel Ecclestone. Fires of Driftwood - Project Gutenberg. 1922. Some nature, some sentimental, a lot of child death/loss. Per Wikipedia, she was a Canadian poet and novelist born in 1875.
( Medina, Frank J. Jingles )
( Moreton, Marshall. The Dance of Dinwiddie )
Neilson, Francis. Blue and Purple - Project Gutenberg. Published 1920. According to the dedication, all of the poems are love poems to the poet's wife. Some of them are mourning poems for her, as well.
( O'Shaughnessy, Arthur W.E. An Epic of Woman and Other Poems )
( Potter, Miriam Clark. Rhymes of a Child's World )
( Rice, Grantland. Base-ball Ballads )
Simple Poems for Infant Minds - Project Gutenberg. Only 16 pages long. The poems are very simple. There's no mention of an author anywhere.
