Vachel Lindsay Walks at Midnight: Six Weeks in Springfield, Illinois
by Robert McKercher on 01/07/14
During the summer of 2010, I interned with the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA) in the state capital, Springfield. I processed a collection of archival materials that had remained untouched since its donation by the Vachel Lindsay Association (VLA) in 2009. It was often tedious, dirty work, but there were also moments of excitement, such as my discovery of what may be a previously unpublished poem handwritten on hotel stationary (Lindsay historian Dennis Camp is still researching it).
