New edition designed and edited by Dick Whyte. I could drown In one deep petal. Hildegarde Flanner (1899-1987) was born in Indianapolis to progressive parents, and had two sisters also involved in the arts, Janet as a journalist, and Marie as a composer and musician. In 1919 she moved to California to study poetry at the University of California with Witter Bynner, and met the artist Frederick Monhoff who would go on to illustrate a number of Flanner's books. Flanner worked on the school magazine, 'The Occident', and in 1920 won the Emily Chamberlain Cook Prize for poetry, published her first book of verse, 'Young Girl & Other Poems', and a one-act play, 'Mansions'. You must have more wisdom than any, For the sun tells you What God says, And the wild canaries tell you What it is To be a yellow motion In the air. The following year she published a 2nd book of verse, 'This Morning', with a cover designed by Monhoff. Flanner wrote rhymed and 'free' verse - both unrhymed & compressed - and continued to publish in 'little magazines' throughout the 1920s. In 1942 she was named 'Poet of the Month' by New Directions, but by this time had shifted her focus from poetry to environmental writing. She returned to poetry at the end of her life, publishing 4 more collections in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as various essays and reviews, and has since been recognised as a significant poet of the post-1913 'new verse' movements. I have pitched my soul Among a solitude Of other tents . . . O will none of you, Will none of you Draw back the flap Of painted canvas? Public Domain Press produces new editions of out-of-print poetry, with a focus on compressed & fragmented 'free verse' from the late-1800s & early-1900s, & the early history of English-language tanka & haiku. Verses are carefully selected & spaciously laid-out, adorned with illustrations & ornaments from the books & magazines they originally appeared in.
