CONE, HELEN GRAY. Coat without a seam, and other poems. *$1.25 Dutton 811
20–519
“‘The coat without a seam, and other poems,’ by Helen Gray Cone, though not an unusual book of verse, is significant for its strong, impressive faith and its whole-hearted optimism. More than half of the poems concern the war, and are brimming with war’s idealism. The remainder, collected under the title ‘The quiet days,’ are lyrics on various themes. Miss Cone has been best known in the past few years as the author of a ‘A chant of love for England,’ the answer to the German ‘Hymn of hate.’”—Springf’d Republican
“Time was, and not long since, these counters had a brave ring; now, without the mixture and fusion of noble metals, the poor alloy predominates. Even the shrill notes sound flat.” L: Untermeyer
