THE NEW MEDUSA, AND OTHER POEMS. 8s.
“We should have to go to great names among contemporary poets before we found a volume of verse with a message so clear and so touching.... There is in the lines quoted a directness of speech due partly to the situation of the writer and partly to the rare gift which, above all others, makes a man a poet—a gift of truthful and sincere utterance. We have quoted from the more personal parts of the book because we have been greatly touched by them. But it is on the dramatic power displayed in such poems as ‘The Raft’ that the writer’s position will have to rest.”—Athenæum.
“The power which every capable reader of Mr. Lee-Hamilton’s previous work, must have recognised is still more apparent in the New Medusa.... The imaginative power which reproduces and dramatises a certain mood of mind is very noteworthy. It is in this faculty of what may be called psychography, of drawing the landscape of moods with atmosphere and environment suitable and complete, that Mr. Lee-Hamilton’s poetic power chiefly consists.”—Academy.
