About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 14 recordings of The Poster-Painter's Masterpiece by Sam Walter Foss. This was the Weekly Poetry project for June 21, 2015. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Claudia Salto; Domenica Campbell; David Lawrence; Newgatenovelist; Greg Giordano; J. McDougall; Jennifer Olenic; Larry Wilson; Leonard Wilson; Maria Kasper; NoelBadrian; Rosslyn Carlyle and Veronica Jenkins. Sam Walter Foss was an American librarian and poet. For many years the opening lines from Foss' The Coming American ("Bring me men to match my mountains / Bring me men to match my plains / Men with empires in their purpose / And new eras in their brains") were inscribed on a granite wall at the United States Air Force Academy to inspire cadets and officers, but they were removed in 2003 to harmonize in perception to the Air Force Academy's having become coeducational.
