His "Collected Poems" (1925) gives a good selection.

----
From an anthology of verse by Jessie B. Rittenhouse (1913, 1917):

"Lindsay, Vachel. Born November 10, 1879. Educated at Hiram College, Ohio.
He took up the study of art and studied at the Art Institute, Chicago,

1900-03 and at the New York School of Art, 1904-05. For a time
after his technical study, he lectured upon art in its practical relation

to the community, and returning to his home in Springfield, Illinois,
issued what one might term his manifesto in the shape of

"The Village Magazine", divided about equally between prose articles,
pertaining to beautifying his native city, and poems,

illustrated by his own drawings. Soon after this, Mr. Lindsay,
taking as scrip for the journey, "Rhymes to be Traded for Bread",

made a pilgrimage on foot through several Western States
going as far afield as New Mexico. The story of this journey is given

in his volume, "Adventures while Preaching the Gospel of Beauty".
Mr. Lindsay first attracted attention in poetry by "General William Booth

Enters into Heaven", a poem which became the title of his first volume,
in 1913. His second volume was "The Congo", published in 1914.

He is attempting to restore to poetry its early appeal as a spoken art,
and his later work differs greatly from the selections contained

in this anthology."
