Excerpt from Wild Thoughts in Rhyme
I have comforts now to make life dear; yea, And friends seek me now in my own retreat, And Love and Friendship me with pleasures greet.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a remarkable collection of poems and prose by a remarkable 19th-century author who emerged from humble beginnings and overcame great adversity to achieve literary success. The author's journey is a classic immigrant tale, from the poverty of a Swiss alpine village to life on the streets as a runaway child in America, to soldiering in the Civil War. Despite these experiences, the author retained a childlike wonder that shines through the writing, imbuing even the darkest poems with a sense of joy and optimism. The author's language is lively, direct, and unvarnished, mirroring the author's personality, and drawing the reader into the raw, emotional world of the poems. This book will appeal to anyone who appreciates authentic voices and the unadorned beauty of human experience.
