General William Booth Enters into Heaven, and Other Poems

A poetry collection by American poet Vachel Lindsay, whose title poem depicts Salvation Army founder William Booth leading followers into heaven, written in Lindsay's characteristically rhythmic, chant-like style meant for performance. It suits readers of early twentieth-century American verse and those interested in Lindsay's oral, musical approach to poetry. Note: the "first published: 1996" date is incorrect—the collection was originally published in 1913. Let me know if you'd like me to work that into the description or leave dates out entirely.
