This well-preserved copy of Philip Sheridan Long’s “Dreams, dust and depression” offers a poignant glimpse into the literary landscape of the early 20th century. Long, a lesser-known figure in the American literary canon, was part of the “Prairie Poets” movement that emerged in the Midwest during the 1920s and 30s. His raw, introspective verses capture the hardships and resilience of rural life during the Dust Bowl era, reflecting the collective trauma of economic depression and environmental calamity. This volume, published in the midst of the Great Depression, resonates with a sense of melancholy and longing, yet also harbors glimmers of hope – a testament to the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity. For collectors and readers alike, this book serves as a poetic time capsule, preserving the voices and experiences of a generation that endured one of America’s most turbulent periods.
