Some Vermonters

"Some Vermonters" is a compelling collection of narrative poems and character sketches that captures the unique spirit and dry wit of the Green Mountain State. Written by Walter R. Hard, a celebrated chronicler of New England life, this work offers a series of intimate portraits of rural residents, depicting their resilience, eccentricities, and quiet wisdom. Through free verse that echoes the natural rhythms of local speech, Hard brings to life the farmers, shopkeepers, and neighbors who defined the cultural landscape of early 20th-century Vermont.

The collection serves as both a literary achievement and a valuable historical record of a specific American regional identity. Hard's keen observational skills allow him to find profound meaning in everyday interactions and the rugged beauty of the New England landscape. From humorous anecdotes to poignant reflections on community and character, "Some Vermonters" remains a quintessential piece of regional literature. It provides readers with a vivid window into the heart of the Northeast, celebrating the enduring human qualities that transcend time and place. This volume is an essential read for those interested in American regionalism, Vermont history, and the art of character-driven poetry.
