Book Description
Excerpt from Lyrics From Cotton Land The story of a rare, gifted soul is difficult to write. The commonplace man is usually the re sultant of forces that can be calculated. The measuring line can be laid to his life; dates, places and movements assume great significance. But it is not so with the man who approaches genius. His soul is a mystery; its birth and growth defy explanation; dates and circumstances mean little. To write a true biography of such a man, inci dents and experiences must be known that lie be yond the research of the scientific student. Such a man was the author of the poems contained in this volume. And, although custom compels to write the usual facts of birth and movement, they are written briefly, in the knowledge that they have little significance for the life of the gifted spirit which sang these ongs to men.
