The twenty-six exquisite Sonnets that form The Love Sonnets of a Car Conductor were written between 1906 and 1907. Their writer was a car conductor, William Henry Smith, who often penned his passion on the back of transfer slips which he cherished carefully in his hat. The Car Conductor mainly performed these literary feats in public, writing between meals on the rear platform of a Sixth Avenue car. It's a fascinating collection in which the writer has described his unique thoughts wonderfully in verses and takes the readers on a beautiful journey into the world of poetry.
