I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of nature in these poems, as in the lines "Prairie droning in heat, satisfied, drowsy, mystical. /For I am a part of the Prairie, / Kin to the wind… from his poem, "Prelude." The majority of his poems are love poems. These lines from his poem, "Resurrection," especially stood out to me as the book was published in 1907. "Not only upon Calvary has died / The patient tortured Christ misunderstood ;/ Over and over is He crucified / Wherever man besmirches womanhood."
