By Oliver Perry Manlove

Book Overview

Wadena: And Other Poems is a collection of poems written by Oliver Perry Manlove and published in 1900. The book contains a total of 38 poems, including the titular poem ""Wadena"", which is a long narrative poem that tells the story of a Native American woman who falls in love with a white man. The other poems in the collection cover a wide range of themes, including nature, love, death, and spirituality. Many of the poems are written in a traditional rhyming scheme, while others are written in free verse. Manlove's writing is characterized by its romanticism and sentimentality, and his poems often evoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, more idyllic time. The author's love of nature is also evident throughout the book, with many of the poems celebrating the beauty of the natural world. Overall, Wadena: And Other Poems is a charming collection of poetry that offers a glimpse into the romantic sensibilities of turn-of-the-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
