Advice: A Book Of Poems

By Maxwell Bodenheim

Book Overview

A spark in the early 20th century that still radiates today. A daring, humane cadence that moves from hydrogen nights to dawn-lit streets. Advice: A Book Of Poems offers a lucid entrance into modernist poetry, standing as a vivid urban verse anthology from a pivotal American literary era. Bodenheim's work navigates city life imagery and romantic desire explorations with an experimental verse language that feels both intimate and expansive. It rewards casual readers with immediate, human resonances and invites scholars and poetry students to study its craft, technique, and bold tonal shifts. This is not merely reading; it is close listening to a city's breath, a dialogue between moods, and a map of perception shaped by a restless modernism. Historically, the collection sits among peers of imagist sympathies and Ezra Pound's circle, marking a clear line in New York modernism and American literary experimentation. Its restored edition honours the text for today's and future generations, preserving its edge while making the language sing anew for contemporary sensibilities. For collectors and connoisseurs, this is more than a reprint-it's a cultural treasure and a tangible artefact of a pivotal moment in American letters. For readers at large, for students, for lovers of poetry study resources, this volume offers beauty, rigor, and a doorway into a landmark era of urban imagination and verse.
