Sinopsis

Arthur Davison Ficke (1883?1945) was an American playwright, poet, and Japanese art expert. One of America?s most famous sonnet writers, he was widely regarded as a ?poet?s poet? and influenced many other poets of his time. First published in 1916, he co-wrote ?Spectra? under the pseudonym Anne Knish. Originally written as a farce of a type of then-famous experimental verse, the assortment of odd poetry surprisingly garnered a great deal of attention and ultimately overshadowed Ficke?s traditional prose writing. Contents include: ?Opus 1 ? Drums?, ?Opus 2 ? Hope?, ?Opus 6 - If I Were Only Dafter?, ?Opus 7 - A Bunch of Grapes?, ?Opus 9 - Frogs? Legs on a Plate?, ?Opus 13 - O Peacock-Feather?, ?Opus 14 - I Had to Put Out my Leaves?, ?Opus 15 - Despair Comes?, ?Opus 16 - The Guillotine?, etc. Other notable works by this author include: ?From the Isles: A Series of Songs out of Greece? (1907), ?The Happy Princess, and Other Poems? (1907), and ?Mrs. Morton of Mexico? (1939). Ragged Hand - Read & Co is republishing this collection of classic poetry now in a new edition complete with the essay ?Metrical Regularity? by H. P. Lovecraft.
