The Poetry of Alan Seeger

This audiobook explores the life and poetry of Alan Seeger, an American poet born in 1888 who was deeply influenced by his experiences in New York, Mexico, and Paris before enlisting in the French Foreign Legion during World War I. Seeger's journey from a bohemian lifestyle to becoming a soldier culminated in his tragic death in 1916, shortly after which his poetry gained recognition, most notably his classic "I Have a Rendezvous with Death." The collection includes a range of Seeger's works, celebrating his artistic contributions and the enduring legacy of a life devoted to both poetry and valor.
