Mrs. Gilman has collected her sister’s poems which had not appeared in book form and has added some hitherto unpublished in magazines, prefacing the volume with a short sketch of Susan Coolidge’s life and literary work. It is uniform with “Verses” and “More Verses” by the same author.
“The easily-won, temperamental optimism, the gentle if somewhat thin piety, which marked the poetic work of Susan Coolidge and won many readers, is the most notable trait in her ‘Last verses.’”
