Jean Toomer's "Cane"
This is a bare-bones digital edition of Jean Toomer's "Cane" (1923). The edition was put together in January 2019 by Amardeep Singh of Lehigh University using a version digitized by Google Books.
A proper introduction to the text and Jean Toomer will hopefully be coming soon. For those who don't know Toomer, a good starting point might be Wikipedia or the biographical note on Modern American Poetry at the University of Illinois.
