| Summary | "Lumber Lyrics" by Walt Mason is a collection of prose poems written in the early 20th century. The book presents an engaging exploration of the lumber industry through humorous and rhythmic verses, reflecting on themes of nature, labor, and community. Mason captures the essence of life in rural America, particularly tied to the lumber trade, conveying both the joy and the challenges faced by those involved in it. In "Lumber Lyrics," Mason addresses various aspects of lumber dealing and the broader context of rural living. The poems celebrate the arrival of seasons, such as the joyful anticipation of spring after winter's harsh grip, and they provide commentary on the importance of knowledge and customer relations in business. Mason uses relatable anecdotes, humor, and a conversational tone to highlight the significance of lumber, not just as a commodity but as a vital part of building homes and communities.
