A Bundle of Myrrh

Daringly embracing sensuality and emotion, this first collection of poems by John G. Neihardt showcases his innovative use of free verse across thirty-one pieces. It garnered significant acclaim and marked the start of his illustrious career as a prominent American poet. The collection also led to a personal connection when Mona Martinsen, a student of sculptor Auguste Rodin, became captivated by Neihardt, initiating a correspondence that ultimately blossomed into marriage.
