The first full-length study of the life of Adelaide Crapsey, an American poet whose artistic goals were antithetical to those of her contemporaries: Gertrude Stein, W.B. Yeats, and Virginia Woolf. Dedicated to understanding the scientific basis of literature, Crapsey invented the cinquain, a poetic form based on principles of stress and meter.
