PRESS NOTICES
'TWIXT EARTH AND STARS
Miss Radclyffe-Hall is a poet. She has a gift of expression always felicitous, not infrequently spontaneous, and her rhythms are really musical. Moreover, the level of her book is uniformly high. In writing of nature her intuition and sympathy are remarkable. Nearly every poem contains something which clings to your memory and sets you thinking.... The main note is vigorous, joyous youth, thankful for the right to exist in such a lovely world.
If Miss Radclyffe-Hall acquires a higher finish she may confidently look forward to taking her place among the poetesses of this country. It is not often one can so honestly recommend the public to buy a volume of poetry. — The Queen , 4th July, 1906.
The author of ''Twixt Earth and Stars' has a real talent for versification, and the subjects chosen are all poetical, added to which she has real feeling and the power to express it. I am so charmed with this little book of poems that I cannot help recommending it to you, that you also may enjoy it. — The Lady , 5th July, 1906.
A little book of short poems, most of which are very pleasant, being marked by sincerity and sweetness. — Evening Standard , 21st July, 1906.
''Twixt Earth and Stars' is a dainty little volume of verse, some of which is of considerable merit. — Publisher and Bookseller , 28th July, 1906.
