About this Product
Peal Andelson - Songs of Death & Other Verse
Forgotten Poets #2 / forgottenpoets.substack.com
Songs of Death & Other Verse [90 pages] beings together, for the first time, Chicago poet Pearl Andelsons free and formal poetry from the 1920s, including a generous selection of verse from her first collection, Fringe (1923), and various uncollected poems from little magazines (1921-28); with illustrations by Marguerite Zorach and Mildred Heinau. Andelson wrote for Harriet Monroes Poetry, and was a member of the Chicago Poetry club, alongside Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Janet Lewis, and John Tiggo. Winters would say of her work; "Andelson has developed and mastered a compact and beautiful technique that can apparently be made as simple or intricate as she desires... [with] precise, flawless juxtaposition, and an exquisite mastery of end and internal rhyme."

The rain arranged
Crystal berries for me
To wear
In my hair.
By inadvertence one fell
Into the
Infinity
Of a bluebell.
