Mark Twain !

featured work:
Roughing It, (an excerpt)

* * * * * * * *
As a young man, Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, author of Tom Sawyer and creator of Huckleberry Finn, traveled about working a variety of interesting jobs: typesetter, riverboat captain, newspaperman, silver prospector. While most of his writings were stories (prose) he did pen the occasional witty poem, and he did give a colorful opinion of poetry: 'What a lumbering poor vehicle prose is for the conveying of a great thought! ...Prose wanders around with a lantern & laboriously schedules & verifies the details & particulars of a valley & its frame of crags & peaks, then Poetry comes, & lays bare the whole landscape with a single splendid flash.'
