Vachel Lindsay, in full Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, (born Nov. 10, 1879, Springfield, Ill., U.S.--died Dec. 5, 1931, Springfield), American poet who--in an attempt to revive poetry as an oral art form of the common people--wrote and read to audiences compositions with powerful rhythms that had an immediate appeal. After three years at Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio, Lindsay left in 1900 to study art in Chicago and New York City. He supported himself in part by lecturing for the YMCA and the Anti-Saloon League. Having begun to write poetry, he wandered for several summers throughout the country reciting his poems in return for food and shelter. He first received recognition in 1913, when Poetry magazine published his poem on William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. His poems of this kind are studded with vivid imagery and express both his ardent patriotism and his romantic appreciation of nature. Lindsay's poetry depicted with evocative clarity such leaders of American cults and causes as Alexander Campbell (a founder of the Disciples of Christ), Johnny Appleseed, John Peter Altgeld, and William Jennings Bryan. Lindsay recited his poetry in a highly rhythmic and syncopated manner that was accompanied by dramatic gestures in an attempt to achieve contact with his audience. Among the 20 or so poems that audiences demanded to hear--so often that Lindsay grew weary of reciting them--were "General William Booth Enters into Heaven," "The Congo," and "The Santa Fe Trail." His best volumes of verse include Rhymes To Be Traded for Bread (1912), General William Booth Enters into Heaven and Other Poems (1913), The Congo and Other Poems (1914), and The Chinese Nightingale and Other Poems (1917). Both Lindsay's poetic powers and his faculty of self-criticism steadily declined during the 1920s, and he lost his popularity. He committed suicide by drinking poison. (britannica.com)

Lindsay was typecast by his contemporaries as a "jazz poet" an appellation kept alive by his exhausting but financially essential reading tours. This selection of his letters shows his yearning to be a poetic savior, an American original, his instinctive appreciation of the infant movie industry's importance, and the hidden (self-hidden) struggle to escape from the iron hand of his mother. They also reveal the basic shallowness of his intellect and talent, despite a capacity for sensing the new demands made on literature by America and the twentieth century.

The Congo is one of the best-known poems by American poet Vachel Lindsay (1879-1931). It was revolutionary in its use of sounds and rhythms - as sounds and rhythms - and includes elaborate annotations to guide its spoken performance. Lindsay categorized The Congo as "higher Vaudeville" and was famous for his exuberant performances of it. The poem's imagery is racist, but Lindsay was a product of his time - born 14 years after the end of the American Civil War in Abraham Lincoln's hometown, he revered Lincoln and viewed himself as a friend and supporter of African-American culture.

Vachel Lindsay introduced a genuinely new rhythm into American poetry and was America's first real folk poet--superior to Sandburg and articulating a sense of awe, loss and resentment at the passing of the older freedoms and dignities of pre industrial America. His topics (Negro revivals, Salvation Army meetings, Chautauqua gatherings) would seem to be utterly dated---yet Lindsay was a modernist in spite of himself and influenced greatly later poets and writers as dis separate as Hart Crane, Edgar Lee Masters, Robert Frost, James T Farrell and William Faulkner as well as Jack Kerouac. Professor Rogal argues it was Lindsay's vision of the American Midwest heartland and its people than informed and empowered Lindsay's greatest poetry. And his performance skills enhanced his poetry during his short vagabond lifetime. "... This work argues for the continuing importance of Vachel Lindsay...the author certainly puts forth a strong case for the poet's importance to the American poetic tradition and that tradition's inherent bardic energies and geomancy" Professor T. Badin. D/American Literature, Zagreb University

"The Art of the Moving Picture" by Vachel Lindsay is the first book to treat movies as art. Lindsay writes a brilliant analysis of early silent films. His thoughtfulness proves him right as modern readers are able to make connections between his predictions for the film industry and what actually came to pass in the years following his publication. This book is a valuable resource to film students and lovers of any age.
