Edgar_guest_s

American Poet Edgar Guest, Ashlar Lodge 91 of Detroit, was known as the "People's Poet."  Unlike many poets who starve and wallow in obscurity, Brother Guest was labled the "foremost poet of the 20th century," and made a very comfortable living with his works.  He was so prolific, he penned over 15,000 poems by writing a poem a day for over 40 years!
