Minna and Myself
Published in the early 20th century, 'Minna and Myself' by Maxwell Bodenheim is a collection of poems and one-act plays that delve into themes of love, beauty, and human emotion. The work is divided into two main sections: 'Minna,' which features lyrical poetry, and 'Myself,' along with two verse playlets co-authored with Ben Hecht, titled 'The Master Poisoner' and 'Poet's Heart.' This collection reflects the artistic trends of its time and offers a nuanced exploration of relationships and the complexities of the human experience.

“In me is a little painted squareBordered by old shops, with gaudy awnings.And before the shops sit smoking, open-bloused old men,Drinking sunlight.The old men are my thoughts:And I come to them each evening, in a creaking cart,And quietly unload supplies.We fill slim pipes and chat,And inhale scents from pale flowers in the center of the square . . .””
— Maxwell Bodenheim
