In 1906, young poet Vachel Lindsay wanders through a dozen states, with no money and no baggage, staying with random strangers, reciting poetry and teaching &quot;The Gospel of Beauty.&quot;  So, what do you suppose that was like?  Wonder why this book was popular in the 1960s &amp; '70s?\n\nNOTE:  Some use of &quot;The N-Word&quot; on the part of the author, quoted faithfully by me.  Sorry if you're offended.\n\nPart 1.1 -- Preface through the first story.\n\nMusic by Kevin MacLeod.","author_name":"A Handy Guide for Beggars, Especially Those of the Poetic Fraternity","author_url":"http:\/\/podiobooks.com\/title\/a-handy-guide-for-beggars","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/538277\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/538277"}
