Democracy and Poetry by Francis B. Gummere is a book that explores the relationship between democracy and poetry. The author argues that poetry has a unique ability to connect individuals and communities, and that this connection is essential to the functioning of a healthy democracy. Gummere examines the works of poets such as Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Langston Hughes, among others, to illustrate the ways in which poetry can inspire and unite people, and how it can be used to challenge and critique the status quo. The book also delves into the history of democracy, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and Rome, and exploring its evolution over time. Overall, Democracy and Poetry is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between two important aspects of human culture.1911. This particular sketch of the relations between democracy and poetry opens with a retrospective view of the institution, and closes with a sort of prophecy about the art.
