Ryan, Coletta. Songs in a sun garden. **$1. Turner, H. B.
In Miss Ryan’s poems dreams seem so possible of realization that one credits her with having found a demonstrable principle of life. Head, heart and imagination are all active. “She is a young woman of strong emotion, a child of the imagination, and if no conventional or reactionary power curbs or holds in check her higher and finer impulses, she will do much fine and vital work.” (Arena.)
“There is much imagination displayed in some of the lines—something all too rare in present day verse. Many of the poems are also rich in rhythmic and musical qualities that tend to sing the lines into the mind of the reader.”

“‘A lover’s song’ is one of the few things afforded by this volume that are reasonably acceptable.” Wm. M. Payne.
