A Handy Guide for Beggars
New Edition. Cloth, 12mo, $1.25

"The Handy Guide for Beggars" is an introduction to all Vachel Lindsay's
work. It gives his first adventures afoot. He walked through Florida,
Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky, in the spring of 1906.
He walked through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and on to Hiram, Ohio,
in the spring of 1908. He carried on these trips his poems:
"The Tree of Laughing Bells", "The Heroes of Time", etc.
He recited them in exchange for food and lodging. He left copies
for those who appeared interested. The book is a record of these
journeys, and of many pleasing discoveries about American Democracy.

This book serves to introduce the next, "Adventures While Preaching
the Gospel of Beauty". In the spring and summer of 1912,
Mr. Lindsay walked from Springfield, Illinois, west to Colorado,
and into New Mexico. He was much more experienced in the road.
He carried "Rhymes to Be Traded for Bread", "The Village Improvement
Parade", etc. As is indicated in the title, he wrestled with a theory
of American aesthetics. "Christmas, 1915", the third book in the series,
appeared, applying the "Gospel of Beauty to the Photoplay".
The ideas of Art and Democracy that develop in the first two books
are used as the basic principles in "The Art of the Moving Picture".
Those who desire a close view of the Lindsay idea will do well
to read the three works in the order named. Further particulars
in the pages following.

The Congo and Other Poems
With a preface by Harriet Monroe, Editor of the 'Poetry Magazine'.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.25; leather, $1.60

In the readings which Vachel Lindsay has given for colleges,
universities, etc., throughout the country, he has won the approbation
of the critics and of his audiences in general for the new verse-form
which he is employing, as well as the manner of his chanting and
singing, which is peculiarly his own. He carries in memory all the poems
in his books, and recites the program made out for him; the wonderful
effect of sound produced by his lines, their relation to the idea which
the author seeks to convey, and their marvelous lyrical quality are quite
beyond
