| Summary | "A Tree with a Bird in it: by Margaret Widdemer" is a unique collection of poetry, published in the early 20th century, that showcases the contributions of contemporary American poets. The book revolves around a whimsical symposium where these poets share their interpretations and musings inspired by a pear tree and a grackle perched upon its branches. It serves as both a playful and critical exploration of poetic expression and the nature of creativity itself. In this compilation, each poet offers distinct perspectives, encapsulating a range of themes from nature and existence to absurdity and personal reflection. The work includes contributions from notable names such as Robert Frost and Edna St. Vincent Millay, each crafting their own verse that often intertwines humor and introspection. The gathering of diverse poetic styles and voices not only highlights the creativity of the era but also provides a commentary on the role of the poet in society, creating a rich tapestry of literary expression that invites readers to consider both the significance of the bird and the tree, as well as the act of poetry itself.
