Experience early 20th-century America through the eyes of poet Vachel Lindsay in Adventures While Preaching the Gospel of Beauty. This engaging travelogue recounts Lindsay's unique journey across the United States as he wandered the country sharing his vision of beauty and art.

Lindsay, a key figure in American poetry, documents his experiences and observations as he walked from town to town, offering his artistic perspectives in exchange for food and lodging. More than just a travel narrative, Adventures While Preaching the Gospel of Beauty showcases Lindsay's commitment to his artistic ideals and his belief in the transformative power of beauty.
