{"product_id":"western-star-stephen-vincent-benet-farrar-rinehart-1943","title":"Western Star","description":"\u003cp\u003eBook One of a projected long narrative poem about the western migration of peoples, first the pioneers' arrival in America and then their spread westward, which Benet planned in 1934 as three to five books and intended to be longer than John Brown's Body. He assembled Book One for publication in 1943, and his death on March 13, 1943 left only this part completed; the publisher's note reprints a quatrain found on his desk among notes for its continuation. The poem covers the colonial period and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1944, posthumously.
