Walter R. Hard

4.9/5 (31332 ratings)

Description:Here is the Vermont that has captured the affections of Americans everywhere. To this ever-popular volume Walter Hard has added some of his best new poems - storytelling at its best, rich in genuine humor and friendly characterization. Here are the villages and the unique atmosphere of the typical country store, with the mingled odors of tobacco smoke, shoe leather and farm products, the unhurried exchange of rural wit and wisdom, the sharp commentaries on both visitors and next-door neighbors - all unerringly set down by a poet who writes, as he himself puts it, with "a kind of Vermont rhythm."Walter Hard's reputation as a folk poet has steadily grown since he first began to write a column for the Manchester Journal in 1926 and published his first book, Some Vermonters, a year later. His irregular free verse, so deceptively "unpoetic" at first appearance, achieves a remarkable range of effect in re-creating the Vermont country scene. Carl Sandburg says of him: "Walter Hard is poet, annalist, anecdote finder I find his Yankees more fascinating than most of the Greeks in Greek mythology."In the wonderfully earthy poems - never cruel, rarely hilarious but always lightning-quick and drily to the point - and in the gentler lyric pieces, this outstanding native poet gives us an enduring record of his state's vitality and individualism. Here is a book for all who love Vermont, because they were born there or because, as with so many, they have been attracted by its inimitable personality.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
