Lengthy poem of an erotic and curious nature. Untermeyer says in his introduction: "It is frankly vulgar, but rightly so; for the people and the scene it depicts are the very essence of vulgarity. It is brutal, cynical, ugly, sensational - but so is the milieu with which it deals. And, first and last, it lives. Wildly, cheaply, drunkenly, filthily, and accurately, it lives."
