Synopsis
The Great Depression was one of the most traumatic events of recent American history. Donald W. Whisenhunt has analyzed, and provided context for, the vast collection of poetry and song lyrics in the Hoover and Roosevelt presidential libraries to assess another aspect of American public opinion.
The poets of the era voiced their opinions on virtually every subject. They wrote about New Deal agencies, they praised and condemned Hoover and Roosevelt. They expressed their views about the Supreme Court, the third term, and the approaching war in Europe. The resulting study, arranged topically rather than chronologically, provides a unique perspective on American popular culture and American politics.

Review
The Great Depression was one of the most traumatic events of American history in the 20th century. Although this period has been studied extensively, one rich source of material remained virtually untouched. In Poetry Of The People, Donald Whisenhunt has analyzed and provided context for the vast collection of poetry and song lyrics in the Hoover and Roosevelt presidential libraries to assess another aspect of American public opinion. Americans poured out their feelings to the Presidents of the era in verse form. These poems and lyrics are unique in recent history both as a form of civic communication and for what they say about the events the poets and lyricists lived through. Poetry Of The People is a unique "window in time" to one of the most challenging times this nation has experienced within this century. -- Midwest Book Review
