Many Gods

by Cale Young RICE (1872 - 1943)

This is a volume of poetry by Cale Young Rice. The poems in this volume reflect Rice's experiences while travelling across Asia, and many of them have, as their theme, a person or incident set in that area or culture. The title Many Gods then also refers to the different religions Rice would have encountered on his journey. - Summary by Carolin
