    About this ebook

    "Advice: A Book of Poems" is a collection of poems by an American poet and novelist Maxwell Bodenheim published in 1920. These works were especially popular during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. In his poems, he incorporated many techniques of the imagists, a poetic movement in early-20th-century Anglo-American poetry that favored precision of imagery and clear, sharp language.
