By CALE YOUNG RICE
"The great quality of Cale Young Rice's work is that, amid all distractions and changes in contemporary taste, it remains true to the central drift of great poetry. His interests are very wide ... and his books open up a most varied world of emotion and romance."—Gilbert Murray.
"The quality of Mr. Rice's work is high. It is seen at its best in his poetic dramas, which maintain an astonishing elevation and intensity of passion ... but his visionary and philosophical poems are nearly as fine. He has a thorough mastery of form, yet notwithstanding the ease of his verse it is never slipshod or mechanical."—The Spectator (London).
"With variations of phrase Cale Young Rice has been described by critics here and in America as "the most distinguished master of lyric utterance in the New World." ... He has dramatic genius ... and is a born maker of songs.... His later volumes confirm the judgment of those who have named him the first and most distinctive of modern American lyrists, and one of the world's true poets."—F. Heath (The London Bookman).
"Mr. Rice is an American poet whose reputation is deserved.... He has achieved a high position as poet and dramatist, a great fertility and variety of outlook being marked features of his work."—The London Times.
"Foremost among writers who have brought America into prominence in the realm of modern thought is Mr. Cale Young Rice.... 'Collected Plays and Poems' is one of the best offerings of verse we have had for long. Indeed, it has real brilliance.... Mr. Rice's plays are masterful."—The Book Monthly (London).
