His parents wanted him to follow his father's career in medicine. He rebelled and studied art before turning to poetry. He travelled the country on foot, living on the sale of printed copies of his poems. For many years, he was very successful in developing a form of poetry that included chants and singing. By the time this book was published, he was under financial strain. The couple eventually moved back to Illinois and lived in his parents' home, where he committed suicide in 1931.
