    Hi, I'm trying to find a good poem related to The Grass Harp by Truman Capote. In the book a family moves into a treehouse and refuses to move out of it, while they are up there they convince others to join them. Do you know of any good poems that could relate to that kind of thing?

    Thanks!

    Capote was more an author of books than poetry 'The Grass Harp' being one if his better known novels.

    Canto General is full of them

    Pablo Neruda's most political collection; Canto General, is full of poetry about living on and not letting adversity stop the human spirit. When my father was in his death bed he gave me his own copy of the book, and the first poem that I read from it was called 'voy a vivir' which translates into 'I will live'... and it could probably be called my outcry to life and the struggle for the truths that engulf us.
