Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II WHEN in 1916 theMacmillan Company published his collected lyrics, Neihardt had become so conscious that the poems constituted a sequence and were directed to a special purpose that he determined to call the volume "The Quest." This title is an assertion that the arrangement of the poems is not accidental; that they are directed to the production of one great mood, the feeling of a search for the meaning of life. In a sense the volume is, as one of its critics has said, "an epic of the individual soul." The sense of search may be found in the first poem, "Lines in Late March." The youth, as he had done in boyhood, is whistling, but for the first time he is self-conscious concerning his expression of joy in mere physical existence. "I whistle. Why not?" No boy ever asks why he whistles or goes barefooted in the spring. It is youth, with its yearning, that asks that question. Then in the next poem we have the first wonder that comes with the consciousness of power over woman. Here is a new mystery. The youth is amazed, overwhelmed by the discovery. He is a "witless musician," she his violin. How complex, how delicate, how divine this human violin! How exalted the musician whose power is first realized! And yet I only feel that song which I have awak-ened mysteriously. Here we have what we always find in Neihardt, a feeling for that which is beyond analysis, the elusive, that part of life that flows all around us and through and beyond, ever escaping the effort to grasp and hold it. Masters of language are those who most feel its inadequacy to express the deepest emotions. Sometimes they find the new word, but even then full expression is not attained. Emotion ever runs beyond the limits of words. I would I knew some slow soft...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published just months after his marriage to Mona Martinsen, the poems collected in Man-Song celebrate passionate love and offer many personal glimpses of the young John Neihardt.øUnashamedly erotic, they reveal his capacity for love at age twenty-eight. ø Poems like "A Vision of Woman" and "Women-Wine" show the lover's prejudices and greedy need for caresses and strong embraces. Those like "To Volney Streamer" are addressed to male friends and anticipate the theme of male bonding that runs throughout his work. Because passion takes various forms, Man-Song also include lyrics of the warrior little like the war chants Neihardt later learned from Plains Indians. "Battle Cry," a poem that was recited by Clarence Darrow and Samuel Gompers, is an example of the fighting songs current in the European avant-garde preceding World War I. ø Neihardt was beginning his struggle to reconcile the demands of the robustly physical life with spiritual insight. His love poems for the American West were still to come, but in Man-Song he is already exploring the vast tract between the essentially erotic and the divine that would be cultivated in his later work. This edition is the first complete reprinting of the work since 1909.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cycle of the West rewards its readers with a sweeping saga of the American West and John G. Neihardt's exhilarating vision of frontier history. It is infused with wonder, nostalgia, and a keen appreciation of epic history. Unquestionably the masterpiece of the poet who has been called the "American Homer," A Cycle of the West celebrates the land and legends of the Old West in five narrative poems: The Song of Three Friends (1919), The Song of Hugh Glass (1915), The Song of Jed Smith (1941), The Song of the Indian Wars (1925), and The Song of the Messiah (1935). This unforgettable epic of discovery, conquest, courage, and tragedy speaks movingly and resoundingly of a unique American experience.
Download or read book The Giving Earth written by John G. Neihardt and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1998-03-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally known for Black Elk Speaks and A Cycle of the West, John G. Neihardt (1881–1973) wrote in almost all major genres: fiction, lyric and epic poetry, biography, autobiography, travelogue, literary criticism, and the familiar essay. The Giving Earth includes nearly forty selections representing every phase of Neihardt’s art, from the passionate poetry of his youth to the masterworks of his maturity to the lapidary reflections of his old age. In her introduction, Hilda Neihardt, who was with her father when he interviewed Black Elk at Pine Ridge, provides many personal details surrounding the publication of his works. She also introduces each section. Included among the early lyrics are "Let Me Live Out My Years." The short stories that brought him his first fame are represented by "Dreams Are Wiser Than Men" and the memorably horrific "Alien." An excerpt from The River and I documents a trip down the Missouri as atmospheric and eventful as any described by Mark Twain. A Cycle of the West, the five-volume masterwork written over nearly thirty years, receives its due with chapters from The Song of Three Friends, The Song of Hugh Glass, The Song of Jed Smith, The Song of the Indian Wars, and The Song of the Messiah. The extent of Neihardt's achievement is apparent long before the reader comes to the selections from the classic Black Elk Speaks and the fine, late novel When the Trees Flowered. Concluding the anthology are selections from the literary criticism that helped form his philosophy of literature and the autobiographical writing of his twilight years. The Giving Earth is the gift of a writer's generous spirit and unlimited imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Elk Speaks, the story of the Oglala Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and his people during momentous twilight years of the nineteenth century, offers readers much more than a precious glimpse of a vanished time. Black Elk’s searing visions of the unity of humanity and Earth, conveyed by John G. Neihardt, have made this book a classic that crosses multiple genres. Whether appreciated as the poignant tale of a Lakota life, as a history of a Native nation, or as an enduring spiritual testament, Black Elk Speaks is unforgettable. Black Elk met the distinguished poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt in 1930 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and asked Neihardt to share his story with the world. Neihardt understood and conveyed Black Elk’s experiences in this powerful and inspirational message for all humankind. This complete edition features a new introduction by historian Philip J. Deloria and annotations of Black Elk’s story by renowned Lakota scholar Raymond J. DeMallie. Three essays by John G. Neihardt provide background on this landmark work along with pieces by Vine Deloria Jr., Raymond J. DeMallie, Alexis Petri, and Lori Utecht. Maps, original illustrations by Standing Bear, and a set of appendixes rounds out the edition.
