Autorenporträt
Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, known as Vachel Lindsay, was an American poet who is considered a founder of modern singing poetry. Born on November 10, 1879, in Springfield, Illinois, Lindsay was passionate about art and literature from a young age. Embracing the idea of the poet as a public voice, he often integrated performative elements into his readings, including chanting and singing, which set him apart from his contemporaries. Lindsay's writing is often characterized by its rhythmic vitality and its lyrical engagement with social and political themes relevant to the early 20th century American experience. Lindsay's body of work includes several volumes of poetry, among which 'The Golden Book of Springfield' (1920) is quintessential, encapsulating his prophetic vision and apocalyptic optimism centered on his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. It is a utopian fantasy that reflects his idealistic hopes for a reborn American society. His poetic style combines a unique blend of American folklore, history, and fervent religiousness, incorporating both local color and the broader American identity. Although his reputation has waxed and waned in critical circles over the years, Lindsay's influence on the development of American poetry and performance art remains undeniable. He died on December 5, 1931, but left a legacy of work that continues to be studied for its innovative blend of sound and social commentary.
