Edición de la obra Radio rhymes

Charles L. H. Wagner became known as Boston's "radio poet." He broadcast over pioneering local station WGI during 1923-1924. This book contains some of the poems he read over the air, most of which were written specifically for (and about) radio fans. The poems are generally humorous, but they also offer social commentary about how the new medium of radio was changing society. Previously known for writing romantic and patriotic poems, Mr. Wagner was also a sign-painter who operated his own trade school.
