Produktbeschreibung

Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Cale Young Rice, 'Sea Poems.

Cale Young Rice writes in the foreword of the book:

"The poems of this volume, gathered here after many requests, are, with a few exceptions, from my previous lyrical publications. They are also in a real sense an intimate record. For the sea has often enough seemed to me almost as a vast external sub consciousness in which the forces of my being-as well as the world's-were at play."

Cale Young Rice (December 7, 1872 - January 24, 1943) was an American poet and dramatist.

He was born in Dixon, Kentucky, to Laban Marchbanks Rice, a Confederate veteran and tobacco merchant, and his wife Martha Lacy. He was a younger brother of Laban Lacy Rice, a noted educator. Cale Rice grew up in Evansville, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky. He was educated at Cumberland University and at Harvard (A.B., 1895; A.M., 1896).

He was married to the popular author Alice Hegan Rice; they worked together on several books. The marriage was childless, and Cale committed suicide by gunshot during the night of January 23-24 at his home in Louisville a year after her death due to his sorrow at losing her.

Cale Rice's poems were collected and published in a single volume by his brother, Laban Lacy Rice.

His birthplace in Dixon is designated by Kentucky State Historical Marker 1508, which reads:

"Birthplace of Rice brothers, Cale Young, 1872-1943, noted poet and author; Laban Lacy, 1870-1973, well-known educator and author. Lacy published The Best Poetic Works of Cale Young Rice after Cale's death. Included in famous collection is poem, "The Mystic." Cale married Alice Hegan, also a distinguished Kentucky writer.

Autorenporträt

Cale Young Rice (1872-1943) was an American poet and playwright, recognized for his lyrical representation of landscapes and his ability to capture the nuances of human experiences. Born in Kentucky, Rice pursued his education with dedication, ultimately earning a degree from Harvard University. His literary style often wove together the intimate elements of nature with the profundities of human emotion, which is evident in his work 'Sea Poems' - a collection distinguished by its vivid maritime imagery and deep connection to the sea's mysterious allure. Rice's affinity for the rhythm and ebb of the ocean echoes through the verses, as he communicates both the beauty and the tempestuousness of seafaring life. Throughout his career, Rice authored several volumes of poetry and plays, earning critical acclaim for his contribution to early 20th-century Americana literature. He was married to the renowned author Alice Hegan Rice, and the couple shared a life of literary pursuit. Rice's oeuvre encapsulated both the exploration of natural environments and the inner landscapes of human consciousness, marking him as a thoughtful observer and a painter with words. His work continues to resonate with readers who are drawn to introspective poetry and the stirring qualities of the natural world.
