“Containing whatever it does, it vindicates with unusual accuracy the critical preferences which seem to prevail just now and so embarrasses the reviewer who would like to declare something newer than that John Gould Fletcher, Robert Frost, Vachel Lindsay, Amy Lowell, Edwin Arlington Robinson, and Carl Sandburg are better than other poets today.”

“Here are all fashions, from free verse to the most conservative lines, and all done with exceptional finish and comprehension of poetic values. The book suggests in its general scheme those excellent Georgian anthologies. But a difference must be noted between these books and this American miscellany. In the American book is a wider range, the dissimilitude of the poets included is far greater than that of the Georgian group.”
