LINDSAY, (Nicholas) Vachel

LINDSAY, (Nicholas) Vachel
(1879-1931)
   US poet, the clanging primitivism of whose best known work, the poems assembled in The Congo and Other Poems (coll 1914), may have been ingenuous. Of sf interest is The Golden Book of Springfield, being the Review of a Book that will Appear in the Autumn of the year 2018, and an Extended Description of Springfield, Illinois, in that Year (1920), a prose work in which a world government is envisioned.
