Best known for her prose book \u003ci\u003eThe Land of Little Rain \u003c\/i\u003e(1903), Austin was in fact a poet from the beginning of her career to the end, even though she never published a volume dedicated to her own original poetry. Instead, Austin's work came to light in collections of poetry and in prestigious journals such as \u003ci\u003ePoetry, \u003c\/i\u003e the Nation, the \u003ci\u003eForum, Harper's, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSaturday Review of Literature, \u003c\/i\u003e among many others. \u003ci\u003eThe Road to the Spring\u003c\/i\u003e contains more than 200 poems, most of which can only be found in out-of-print books, magazines, and periodicals, and her unpublished manuscripts archived at the Huntington Library. This singular publication includes her original work, poems she claimed to have written with her grammar school pupils at the end of the nineteenth century, and her translations and \"re-expressions\" of Native American songs, which often diverge greatly from any other known sources. Warren includes an introduction, laying out Austin's place in American literature and situating her writings in feminist, environmentalist, regionalist, and Native American contexts. He also includes notes for those new to Austin's work, glossing Native terms, geographical names, and the ethnological sources of the Native songs she re-creates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Perrin Warren\u003c\/b\u003e is S.
