Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lumber Lyrics Walt Mason is a poet and the world knows it. He is read by more people than any other living writer. His prose rhymes are published in 200 daily newspapers with an aggregate circulation of about 12 millions. Walt says his only claim on the nation's gratitude is that he does not go about the country reading from his "works." Indeed, he doesn't have to, for his writings are read with avidity by hosts of people. Walt Mason lives in Emporia, Kansas, most of the time, but spends his summers in Estes Park, Colorado. He does nothing but write prose rhymes. And at this job he is one of the hardest working men living. He is probably the only poet who makes his living solely by the sweat of his brow. Many people have wondered what Walt Mason gets for his contributions to Curtis Service. This is rather a personal question but it is sufficient to say that he gets enough money from work of this kind so that his monthly income has totalled as high as $875.00. At any rate, this was the figure he gave out in an interview in a Kansas City paper in 1914, and like everything else, prose rhymes weren't as high then as they are now. As Mr. Mason himself explains, he was never a lumber dealer, though he has tried to sell everything from hardware to hogs. How, then, can he write lumber lyrics that hit such a responsive chord in every lumber dealer's mind? The Lord knows. He was born that way. His prose rhymes "get under your hide" and under every other lumber dealer's hide, because Walt Mason has an interest in you and your fellow human beings. Walt Mason was born in Columbus, Ontario, May 4th, 1862. He was the fifth of six sons of poor parents. When Walt was four years old his father was accidentally killed. After his mother died, when he was fifteen, he went to Port Hope, Ontario, and worked in a hardware store for $2.50 a week, boarding himself. He soon forsook the hardware business, in 1880, and crossed Lake Ontario into New York State, where he hoed beans until he decided that there wasn't any sense in hoeing beans.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Lyrics 'Author dyes an author, like an old fluff, with a new colour, but can never give it the lustre of the first tincture, as silks that are twice dyed lose their glosses, and never receive a fair colour. He is a small factor that imports books of the growth of one language into another, but it seldom turns to account; for the commodity is perishable, and the finer it is, the worse it endures transportation, as the most delicate of Indian fruits are by no art to be brought over... His labours are like dishes of meat twice drest, that become insipid, and lose the pleasant taste they had at first. He differs from an author as a fiddler does from a musician, that plays other men's compositions, but is not able to make any of his own.' - Butler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Northern Lyrics, Vol. 13: A Book of Verse There are sudden floods of leaves whose tinkling speech Breaks in pools of gathered sunlight from the oak; There are scarlet waves of colour from the beech, And they hide the happy earth as with a cloak. There are belts of brooding mist that turn to gold On the brackens, dusky-red, beneath the hill; There are fretted ferns all crumpled on the wold With the light of Summer evenings in them still. Ah, the reminiscent reaches of the wood, With the rose-flame of the sunset in the sky; Not a leaf but tells how beautiful it stood Not a leaf but murmurs softly, All things die! And the forest-shrine is bright with burnished gold, Tiny sandals are the leaves from spirit-feet: Let us worship in the temple as of old, For the place is holy ground whereon we meet.

It is the grist of the years from the publication of Mary Magdalene and Other Poems, in 1914, until now. Some of the friends who inspired my work are dead, - grief has knocked at the door. Sam Wood, natur alist, has gone along. Emmanuel Tasse, of Ottawa, whose wife com posed and brought out our war song, died the following year. The Bridge of Gold was written for him whilst he was still with us. Of our boys who went to the war some of the dearest and best are dead or missing. My thanks to Dr. Watson for his nature poetry, which suggested my title piece, The Bird of Dawn. He made the first copy on his own typewriter in red letter. Again, to John Garvin, of Canadian Poets fame, that unwearying philanthropist to every one of us, genius or scribbler, a very personal feeling of kindness because of his tactful effort to find me work when I was poor and dejected.

Download or read book Blue Collar Broadway written by Timothy R. White and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the scenes of New York City's Great White Way, virtuosos of stagecraft have built the scenery, costumes, lights, and other components of theatrical productions for more than a hundred years. But like a good magician who refuses to reveal secrets, they have left few clues about their work. Blue-Collar Broadway recovers the history of those people and the neighborhood in which their undersung labor occurred. Timothy R. White begins his history of the theater industry with the dispersed pre-Broadway era, when components such as costumes, lights, and scenery were built and stored nationwide. Subsequently, the majority of backstage operations and storage were consolidated in New York City during what is now known as the golden age of musical theater. Toward the latter half of the twentieth century, decentralization and deindustrialization brought the emergence of nationally distributed regional theaters and performing arts centers. The resulting collapse of New York's theater craft economy rocked the theater district, leaving abandoned buildings and criminal activity in place of studios and workshops. But new technologies ushered in a new age of tourism and business for the area. The Broadway we know today is a global destination and a glittering showroom for vetted products. Featuring case studies of iconic productions such as Oklahoma! (1943) and Evita (1979), and an exploration of the craftwork of radio, television, and film production around Times Square, Blue-Collar Broadway tells a rich story of the history of craft and industry in American theater nationwide. In addition, White examines the role of theater in urban deindustrialization and in the revival of downtowns throughout the Sunbelt.
