POEMS
SECOND SERIES
By J. C. Squire
London: William Heinemann Limited 1922

TO EDWARD SHANKS

Three years ago I published a volume called Poems: First Series , which contained a collection of what I had written between 1905 and March, 1918.
The present collection contains all that I have written since then. The Birds and nine shorter poems were published in a small booklet in 1919; The Moon was separately published in 1920; but the majority of the poems here printed appear in book form for the first time, and twelve have never previously been published.
The poems are as nearly as possible in chronological order, except that the group called An Epilogue should have been dated 1917.
J. C. S. September , 1921.
