Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""A Handy Guide For Beggars: Especially Those Of The Poetic Fraternity"" by Vachel Lindsay is a satirical guidebook that offers advice to aspiring poets on how to live a life of poverty and begging. Lindsay, an American poet, humorously presents his views on the life of a beggar, providing tips on how to dress, where to beg, and how to approach potential donors. He also includes poems and anecdotes that highlight the struggles and joys of being a beggar. The book is a commentary on the romanticization of poverty and the idea that artists must suffer for their art. Overall, ""A Handy Guide For Beggars"" is a witty and entertaining read that challenges the notion that poverty and begging are noble pursuits.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
