Four Blue Eggs: American Cinquains is a collection of 90 poems full of metric delights and sorrows, offering solace and hope amid turbulent times. The cinquain is a poetic form that was further developed by American poet Adelaide Crapsey (pronounced CRAPE-see), a scholar of metrics who died young of tuberculosis in 1914. The book's preface explains how Crapsey's work was kept alive, in part, by poet Carl Sandburg a hundred years ago. Four Blue Eggs is intended to inspire interest in early feminist Adelaide Crapsey and the metrical poetic form she illuminated. Poets and readers interested in short-form poems, as well as teachers of poetry, will appreciate what Four Blue Eggs offers, including its invitation to experiment with this accessible form.
