  • THE MAN WITH THE HOE.



    "The Man With the Hoe" is purely an American product, and every

    American ought to be proud of it, for we want no such type allowed to

    be developed in this country as the low-browed peasant of France. This

    poem is a stroke of genius. The story goes that it so offended a modern

    plutocrat that he offered a reward of $10,000 to any one who could

    write an equally good poem in rebuttal. "The Man With the Hoe" has won

    for Edwin Markham the title of "Poet Laureate of the Labouring

    Classes."

  • A really fresh oyster is getting smacked in the face by the entire Atlantic Ocean.

  • I loved rhubarb pie, that's what I always had on my birthday instead of cake. Still do, actually.
  • What is your go-to comfort food?


    Coffee. There's something very ritualistic about preparing and drinking coffee, it is just as nice at home or in a cafe.
