A Pushcart at the Curb
E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net)
"A Pushcart at the Curb" by John Dos Passos is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century, particularly around the period following World War I. The work captures the essence of daily life, human experiences, and emotions across various landscapes, likely reflecting a post-war disillusionment. The poems evoke vivid imagery and sensations, ranging from bustling urban settings to rural scenes, often underlining themes of longing, simplicity, and the transitory nature of life. At the start of this collection, the reader is introduced to vivid depictions of streets and marketplaces filled with life. The imagery paints a dynamic picture as the scenes unfold—blind musicians playing, vendors selling wares, and the varied expressions of the people populating these environments. Dos Passos's language is rich and sensory, capturing not only the physical surroundings but also the emotional undertones of the characters involved in these day-to-day interactions. Through these early verses, the poet lays the groundwork for an exploration of communal life, harmony, and the inevitable shadows of loss and yearning that permeate human existence.
