The Congo

Congo is one of the most famous poems by American poet Vachel Lindsay. It is revolutionary in its use of sounds and rhythms (such as sounds and rhythms) and contains complex annotations to guide oral performance. Lindsay has classified Congo as a "High Variety" and is known for her enthusiastic performances. The imagery of the poem is racist, but Lindsay is a product of her time. Born 14 years after the end of the Civil War in Abraham Lincoln's hometown, he revered Lincoln and considered himself a friend and supporter of African-American culture.

By : Vachel Lindsay (1879 - 1931)
