[Rarebooks] FS: Vachel Lindsay's THE CONGO, First in dustwrapper, 1914

[Charles Agvent]

LINDSAY,  Vachel.  THE CONGO AND OTHER POEMS. New  York:
         MacMillan  1914. First Edition. The title poem, subtitled  "A
         Study of  the Negro Race," is Lindsay's best-known work,  and
         his many  successful  recitations  of  the  poem  truly  gave
         "voice"   to  the  poet's  art   in  the  United  States  and
         prefigured  the later Beat/Jazz collaborations. Exceptionally
         scarce  in the dustwrapper. Fine in an attractive dustwrapper
         with minor edgewear.                                 $1000.00
