Harry Kemp

Harry Kemp built a varied American literary career across poetry, fiction, travel writing, and autobiography during the early twentieth century. The Cry of Youth is his 1914 poetry collection, published in New York by Mitchell Kennerley. Its appearance belongs to the period when Kemp was establishing a body of work that later included the autobiographical Tramping on Life. Library records identify The Cry of Youth as a 140-page English-language volume and preserve Kemp's authorship consistently. His writing links lyric expression with observations gathered through travel and an unconventional working life.
