Summary "Giant Hours with Poet Preachers" by William L. Stidger is a collection of literary reflections and analyses on several notable poets, written during the early 20th century. The work delves into the lives and teachings of poets such as Edwin Markham, Vachel Lindsay, Joaquin Miller, and Alan Seeger, exploring how their writings embody themes of spirituality, humanity, and the pursuit of truth. Stidger seeks to illuminate the social messages embedded within their poetry, particularly how it relates toChristian ideals and societal challenges. At the start of the book, the opening sections introduce the dedication to Edwin Markham, highlighting his roles as both a poet and a prophet for humanity. The introduction, penned by Markham himself, discusses the essence of Christianity and its transformative power when applied to society as a whole. He argues that while individual acts of kindness reflect Christian teachings, a true Christian civilization has yet to be realized. The focus on poets in the book emphasizes the blend of artistry and earnestness within their works, showcasing their capacity to inspire societal change and foster a deeper understanding of human experiences through a spiritual lens.
