MISCELLANY of American poetry, 1920. *$2 Harcourt 811.08
20–16870
“This volume is as its name half implies, a miscellany of the most recent work of eleven American poets. These eleven form no particular group, illustrate no single influence, constitute no one ‘movement.’... Each poet has been his own editor. As such, he has selected and arranged his own contributions.... The poems that follow are all new. They are new not only in the sense that they have not been previously issued by their authors in book form but, with the exception of seven poems, none of them has ever appeared in print.” (Publisher’s foreword) The eleven poets are: Conrad Aiken; Robert Frost; John Gould Fletcher; Vachel Lindsay; Amy Lowell; James Oppenheim; Edwin Arlington Robinson; Carl Sandburg; Sara Teasdale; Jean Starr Untermeyer, and Louis Untermeyer.

“Some of the poems have come out in magazines; and, what is really important, most of them are below the author’s level. For a first number this volume might pass. But the next should be made to count by the contributors looking ahead and planning for it. Otherwise it is only a pleasant venture.” Stark Young

“An eminently sane and revealing experiment, and one which justifies itself in the results.” Lisle Bell
