AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SUPER TRAMP
Author(s): DAVIES W H
A Welsh tramp who became a popular poet acclaimed by conservative Georgians and vanguard Ezra Pound alike, W.H. Davies surprised contemporaries with the unlikeliest portrait of the artist as a young man ever written. Praised by Osbert Sitwell for 'primitive splendour and directness,' Davies evokes the beauty and frontier violence of turn-of-the-century America in prose George Bernard Shaw commended.The insurgent wanderlust voice is expressed here with raucous exuberence.
