Vachel Lindsay Knihy
Vachel Lindsay byl americký básník, který se zasloužil o průkopnickou moderní zpívanou poezii. Jeho dílo se vyznačuje osobitým zaměřením na zvuk, využívá zvukomalbu k napodobení bubnů a zpěvů domorodých obyvatel Konga. Lindsayho inovativní přístup k rytmu a kadenci v jeho verších ho odlišil od jeho současníků a zanechal nesmazatelnou stopu v americké literatuře. Jeho básně, často recitované s hudebním doprovodem, vtahují čtenáře do světa živých obrazů a silných emocí.
