About this eBook

Author Call, Frank Oliver, 1878-1956
Title Acanthus and Wild Grape
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Acanthus and Wild Grape" by F. O. Call is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. Through its verses, the author explores themes of beauty, nature, love, and the interplay of life and death. The collection showcases a variety of poetic forms, blending traditional structures with free verse, reflecting the author's engagement with contemporary poetic movements of his time. The book is divided into two main sections: "Acanthus" and "Wild Grape," each laden with vivid imagery and introspective musings. In "Acanthus," Call meditates on art, spirituality, and the transient nature of beauty, embodying a contemplative tone as he addresses both the eternal and ephemeral aspects of existence. "Wild Grape" leans more toward nature and personal reflections, depicting scenes of longing and connection to the world through rich sensory details. From the struggle between the crumbling remnants of civilization and the wild reclamation by nature to the expressions of love and sorrow, Call crafts a poignant tapestry that invites readers to reflect on their own understanding of beauty and existence.
