The City of Toil and Dreams: Verse (1916) is a collection of poems written by American author William Cary Sanger Jr. The book features a variety of themes, including love, nature, and the struggles of everyday life in a rapidly industrializing society. Sanger's writing is characterized by its vivid imagery and emotional depth, as he explores the complexities of the human experience through verse. The title of the book is a nod to the duality of life in the early 20th century, where the promise of progress and prosperity was often overshadowed by the harsh realities of poverty and inequality. Overall, The City of Toil and Dreams offers a poignant and thought-provoking glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history through the lens of one of its most talented poets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
