The Black Riders and Other Lines (Version 2)

Gelesen von Chuck Williamson

(3,875 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

Written in a purgative frenzy of pure imagination (“They came, and I wrote them, that’s all”), Stephen Crane’s The Black Riders and Other Lines is a strange, enigmatic, and sparsely-written collection of free verse that bristles with Old Testament fury, seethes with cosmic cynicism, and touches on themes of lost faith and existential terror.

very good reading

(3,5 Sterne)

I really like the voice and tone of the reader in this collection of Stephen Crane's poetry: slightly-angsty, indignant, a quiet rage brewing underneath a defiant, slow delivery -- oddly appropriate for these poems.
