LibriVox volunteers bring you 16 recordings of The Flight by Lloyd Mifflin.
This was the Weekly Poetry project for June 19, 2011.
Lloyd Mifflin first received art instruction from his father and then at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, as well as studying in Germany. He later believed that the paint fumes were affecting his health, so he turned to writing poetry. He eventually published over 500 sonnet.
The Flight is from The Golden Treasury or American Songs and Lyrics (1897) - edited by Frederic Lawrence Knowles (1864 - 1905) (summary by David Lawrence)
